“Modeling Nano-Metric Manufacturing Processes with MD Method: A review

Published: Nov 01, 2017 by Current Nanoscience
Authors: N.E. Karkalos and A.P. Markopoulos
Subjects: Engineering - Industrial & Manufacturing

Nano-machining processes are of increasing interest for state-of-the-art industrial and scientific applications. MD method is a reliable means of simulating these processes and obtaining valuable information about the characteristics of nano-machining that are impossible to be observed by experimental work.

Computational Methods for the Assessment of Nanofluids in Abrasive Processes

Published: Sep 06, 2017 by Solid State Phenomena
Authors: N.E. Karkalos and A.P. Markopoulos
Subjects: Engineering - Industrial & Manufacturing

In the present work, the effect of cutting fluid type in the temperature profile of the workpiece during grinding is investigated and useful conclusions are drawn, concerning the efficiency of nanofluids as cutting fluids.

Molecular Dynamics Model of Nano-metric Peripheral Grinding

Published: Jun 21, 2017 by Procedia CIRP
Authors: N.E. Karkalos, A.P. Markopoulos, J. Kundrák
Subjects: Engineering - Industrial & Manufacturing

In this study, an MD simulation of nanometric peripheral grinding with two single crystal diamond grains is conducted with a view to determine cutting forces and temperatures as well as surface integrity and subsurface damage in the workpiece.

Theoretical Analysis of the Contact Area between Grinding Wheel Surface and Work

Published: Jun 06, 2017 by Manufacturing Technology
Authors: J. Kundrák, V. Fedorovich, I. Pyzhov, A.P. Markopoulos, V. Klimenko, N. Kryukova
Subjects: Engineering - Industrial & Manufacturing

Theoretical analysis has been carried out for the determination of the analytical dependences connecting various parameters of contact area between wheel cutting surface and workpiece, such as length, width and arc length in the case of flat face grinding with preliminary inclination of spindle axis.
