Abrasive technology is becoming increasingly important in precision manufacturing. This volume contains more than 70 refereed technical papers contributed by worldwide academic researchers and industrial practitioners, on the latest development in abrasive technology. Specifically, it covers the mechanics and mechanisms of abrasive processes as well as the technologies and applications related to abrasive jet machining, nano-machining, grinding, polishing, horning and lapping. It also includes topics on high-speed machining, eco-machining and laser micro-machining technologies. The discussion on the practical applications of abrasive technology and the associated theories makes this book useful for academic researchers and industrial practitioners.Contents: GrindingELIDPolishing, Honing and LappingDressing and TruingFinishing and ECMAbrasive Jet and Flow MachiningMechanics of MachiningHigh-Speed and Eco-MachiningNano-Machining and Laser Micro-MachiningSurface IntegrityMachines and MeasurementsNovel Technologies and MaterialsReadership: Academics and professionals in industrial manufacturing, mechanical engineering and materials science.Key Features:Reinforces links between the most advanced applications from academia and industry by presenting several applications to real MEMSIncludes several chapters on the experimental testing of MEMS and NEMS to evaluate their dynamical behavior and material properties and validate the numerical procedures describedDraws together contributions from leading experts worldwideTakes a new approach to the subject by focusing on the multiphysical nature of the problems
