Metal Cutting Mechanics

"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 processidentifying the singularity of the cutting process among other closely related manufacturing processes by chip formation, caused by bending and shear stresses in the deformation zonesuggesting a distinctive way toward predictability of the metal cutting processdevoting special attention to experimental methodologyMetal 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."--Provided by publisher.
