This book presents the potential applications of hard materials as well
as the latest trends and challenges in machining hard materials. Models
for online monitoring to adjust parameters to obtain desired machining
characteristics (i.e. reverse modelling) are discussed in this book. The
conflicting requirements (i.e. maximize: material removal rate,
roundness and minimize: surface roughness, dimensional ovality, co
axiality, tool wear) in machining for industry personal is solved using
advanced optimization tools. In addition, the framework for experimental
modelling, predictive physic-based forward and reverse process models
and optimization for better machining characteristics applicable to
industry are proposed.
