Abstract
A 500-page report has been written, reviewing the fixed abrasive grinding research being done at universities around the world. The project was initiated by the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT), to inform their members of the current state-of-the-art. The report is based on the completion of one-page summaries obtained from 200 researchers during a 2-month period (November-December 2004). From these summaries, key words were categorized that helped to structure the report by: material investigated: fluid application used; tool design, modeling method used, etc. The appropriate summaries are referenced in each section, using country code pre-fixed letters, with full summaries included in the Appendix. An additional 50 technical references and books are also cited in the report.
Download a sample of the report free of charge. If you’d like to purchase the entire book on paper or cd-rom through the post or as a .pdf document through email, please contact Dr. Webster to coordinate.
