A Framework for the Analysis of Mass Finishing Processes

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to introduce, in broad strokes, a framework – constructed from a fusion of granular flow (GFD) dynamics, tribology and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) techniques – for the practical analysis of mass finishing processes. The presentation opens with a short introduction to typical mass finishing processes, followed by a brief discussion on their respective correspondences to GFD regimes, and ends which some illustrative results arising from the application of this framework to vibratory finishing, which is perhaps the most industrially pervasive mass finishing process.
