Micro-Cutting: Fundamentals and Applications comprehensively covers
the state of the art research and engineering practice in micro/nano
cutting: an area which is becoming increasingly important, especially in
modern micro-manufacturing, ultraprecision manufacturing and high value
manufacturing.
This book provides basic theory, design and analysis of micro-toolings
and machines, modelling methods and techniques, and integrated
approaches for micro-cutting. The fundamental characteristics,
modelling, simulation and optimization of micro/nano cutting processes
are emphasized with particular reference to the predictabilty,
producibility, repeatability and productivity of manufacturing at micro
and nano scales.
The fundamentals of micro/nano cutting are applied to a variety of
machining processes including diamond turning, micromilling, micro/nano
grinding/polishing, ultraprecision machining, and the design and
implementation of micro/nano cutting process chains and micromachining
systems.
