While this feature enables accurate and high quality machining, it complicates analysis of the grinding process. In order to solve this problem, several computer simulations have been carried out using the Monte Carlo Method. Most of them, however, statically calculate geometric interference between a grain and a workpiece, and have not provided enough achievements for practical applications. In this study, taking the background into account, a simulation program has been developed based on the elastic behaviour model of a grain which has been previously investigated by the authors. The program focuses on the generation process of a workpiece surface, and simulates the interaction of grains with a workpiece, which includes the elastic and plastic deformation and the removal of workpiece material. The simulation result is visualized using a three-dimensional graphics technique. An example of the simulation shown in this study verifies that the simulation program makes it easy to analyze the microscopic grinding phenomena, and can be used as a practical tool for predicting the grinding results and for optimizing grinding parameters.</p><p><a href="http://conference.iproms.org/visual_simulation_of_grinding_process">read more</a></p> http://conference.iproms.org/visual_simulation_of_grinding_process#comment Digital Manufacturing Tue, 27 Jun 2006 15:49:18 +0100 scess6 3350 at http://conference.iproms.org http://conference.iproms.org/product_support_knowledge <p><strong>Author : N. Lagos and R. Setchi</strong></p> </li> </ul> <ul class="authors-list"> <li>Keywords : Product support, knowledge, semantics</li> </li> </ul> <p>This paper aims to discuss and define product support knowledge. The paper analyses product support from a task-based point of view and accordingly introduces the concept of a Product Support System (PRSS). Next it outlines the constituents that form product support knowledge and illustrates their definitions. It is concluded that semantically rich models are needed in order to express the multidimensionality of product support knowledge.</p><p><a href="http://conference.iproms.org/product_support_knowledge">read more</a></p> http://conference.iproms.org/product_support_knowledge#comment Digital Manufacturing Tue, 27 Jun 2006 15:45:34 +0100 scess6 3349 at http://conference.iproms.org
