The German Academic Society for Production Engineering is an association of leading German professors of production engineering. The „WGP Jahreskongress“ has the aim to foster young researchers by giving the opportunity to publish their research results under their own name exclusively and discuss these results with each other during the meeting.
The 46 peer reviewed papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Assembly;
Chapter 2: Cutting and Grinding;
Chapter 3: Forming;
Chapter 4: Machines;
Chapter 5: Organization.
The modelling of Machining Operations has become very widespread today, with many researchers developing models with which to predict metal-cutting performance. The aim here is to provide an answer to the challenges presented by the machining industry, which is presently facing very tight economical and environmental constraints. The collection of over 100 peer-reviewed papers covers twelve research topics, including: “Analytical and Numerical Modelling”; “Cutting Fundamentals: Input Parameters”; “Cutting Fundamentals: Experimental Validation”; “Surface Integrity”; “Surface Topography”; “Tool Wear and Tool Life”; “Dynamics and Stability”; “High-Speed Machining and 5-Axes Machining”; “Abrasive Machining”; “Ultra-Precision and Micromachining”; “Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)”; “Experimental: Non-Conventional Machining”. This work will thus constitute an invaluable handbook on the subject.
The increased use of advanced materials in high-efficiency structures – electronic devices, medical equipment, aircraft and vehicles – requires an improved reliability, increased resistance to breakdown, and better failure and life-span forecasting for a wide variety of loading conditions. The development of materials having advanced structural properties is becoming a key factor in industrial and technological progress.
Enhancing the surface finish and integrity of engineered components is increasingly important; particularly for the parts used in electronic and optical devices and systems. Significant progress has been made, in recent years, in developing new and advanced surface-finishing technologies as well as acquiring a fundamental understanding of the surface finishing technologies in order to predict, control and optimise surface-finishing processes.
The aim of this special volume was to bring together the latest know-how of academic researchers and industrial engineers and present the latest developments and applications in advanced precision surface finishing and de-burring technologies.
