Vibration Assisted Machining

<p><b>The first book to c</b><b>omprehensively&nbsp;address the&nbsp;theory, kinematic modelling, numerical simulation and applications of vibration assisted machining</b>&nbsp;</p> <p><i>Vibration Assisted Machining: Theory, Modelling and Applications</i>&nbsp;covers all key aspects of vibration assisted machining,&nbsp;including&nbsp;cutting kinematics and dynamics,&nbsp;the&nbsp;effect of workpiece materials&nbsp;and wear of cutting tools. It also addresses practical&nbsp;applications&nbsp;for these techniques. Case&nbsp;studies&nbsp;provide&nbsp;detailed guidance on&nbsp;the&nbsp;design, modeling and testing&nbsp;of VAM systems. Experimental machining&nbsp;methods&nbsp;are&nbsp;also&nbsp;included, alongside considerations of&nbsp;state-of-the-art research developments&nbsp;on cutting force modeling and surface texture generation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Advances in computational modelling, surface metrology and manufacturing science&nbsp;over&nbsp;the past&nbsp;few&nbsp;decades have&nbsp;led to tremendous benefits for industry. This&nbsp;is the first&nbsp;comprehensive book dedicated to design, modelling, simulation&nbsp;and integration of vibration assisted machining system and processes,&nbsp;enabling&nbsp;wider&nbsp;industrial application&nbsp;of the technology.&nbsp;This book enables engineering students and professionals in manufacturing to understand and implement the latest vibration assisted machining techniques.
