This book introduces state-of-the-art experimental and numerical methods
and examples for evaluating the drilling performance of engineering and
biological materials, particularly in thermal aspects. The authors use a
common pathway to present the technological and analytical methods for
both industry (metal) drilling and orthopaedic surgery (bone) drilling
research, making this book a resource for both industrial and clinical
readers who wish to understand the evolution of technologies, techniques
and challenges in drilling. The authors also focus on advanced
engineering materials, such as titanium alloys and high-strength cast
irons, which have broad applications in the automotive, aerospace,
medical device and sports industries. This book is a must-read for a
broad audience, including engineering students in upper-level
undergraduate and graduate courses that involve machining processes; for
surgery residents, fellows, and practicing surgeons; and for engineers
in the medical device industry who develop new bone cutting tools.
- Bridges the knowledge on drilling from the manufacturing industry to
healthcare;
- Covers the experimental and modeling aspects of drilling thermal
analysis;
- Includes experimental studies that contain parameters and data that
emulate practical production and clinical drilling.
