Probabilistic modeling of microgrinding wheel topography

Kunz, Jacob Andrew 20 September 2013 (has links)
This work addresses the advanced probabilistic modeling of the stochastic nature of microgrinding in the machining of high-aspect ratio, ceramic micro-features. The heightened sensitivity of such high-fidelity workpieces to excessive grit cutting force drives a need for improved stochastic modeling. Statistical propagation is used to generate a comprehensive analytic probabilistic model for static wheel topography. Numerical simulation and measurement of microgrinding wheels show the model accurately predicts the stochastic nature of the topography when exact wheel specifications are known. Investigation into the statistical scale affects associated microgrinding wheels shows that the decreasing number of abrasives in the wheel increases the relative statistical variability in the wheel topography although variability in the wheel concentration number dominates the source of variance. An in situ microgrinding wheel measurement technique is developed to aid in the calibration of the process model to improve on the inaccuracy caused by wheel specification error. A probabilistic model is generated for straight traverse and infeed microgrinding dynamic wheel topography. Infeed microgrinding was shown to provide a method of measuring individual grit cutting forces with constant undeformed chip thickness within the grind zone. Measurements of the dynamic wheel topography in infeed microgrinding verified the accuracy of the probabilistic model.
