Metal Cutting Mechanics outlines the fundamentals of metal cutting
analysis, reducing the extent of empirical approaches to the problems as
well as bridging the gap between design and manufacture. The author
distinguishes his work from other works through these aspects:
considering the system engineering of the cutting process
identifying the singularity of the cutting process among other closely
related manufacturing processes by chip formation, caused by bending and
shear stresses in the deformation zone
suggesting a distinctive way toward predictability of the metal cutting
process
devoting special attention to experimental methodology
Metal Cutting Mechanics provides an exceptional balance between general
reading and research analysis, presenting industrial and academic
requirements in terms of basic scientific factors as well as application
potential.
