HockenEEC-9903838This project is funded as a part of the EEC initiative on Research Centers - Small Firms Collaborative R&D. The cooperating partners are the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC) - Center for Precision Metrology, and Third Wave Systems, Inc., a small firm headquartered in Minneapolis, MN that provides simulation technology for the metal processing industry. The Center and the small firm will jointly develop the science and technology base to machine and model the cutting of ceramic materials. These results will be useful to help manufacturers produce ceramic components for their products. The Center will contribute its expertise in the areas of precision machining and metrology, materials characterization, and finite element analysis. Third Wave will provide the Center with its software for this project and provide training as part of their in-kind contribution to the project. Third Wave has extensive experience with modeling metal cutting operations. However, Third Wave does not have experience with modeling the machining of ceramics such as silicon nitride. The collaborative R&D will afford Third Wave the opportunity to be directly involved in the research effort to develop a machining simulation package for ceramic workpieces such as silicon nitride. The work is an outgrowth of over two years of discussion between UNC and Third Wave to establish a joint collaborative effort. The interest has always been and continues to be very high, but the hurdles from both the small firm and the university have been sufficiently high to prevent any progress. The usual problems such as lack of financial resources and personnel availability have kept us from realizing any advances towards a viable research program. Two of the Center's affiliates, Caterpillar and Cummins, have expressed an interest in the modeling of ceramic machining. Both companies have contributed to the Center's ceramic machining project.

HockenEEC-9903838该项目是作为研究中心-小公司合作研发的EEC倡议的一部分资助的。 合作伙伴是北卡罗来纳州夏洛特大学精密计量中心和第三波系统公司，一家总部位于明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市的小型公司，为金属加工行业提供仿真技术。 该中心和小公司将共同开发科学和技术基地，以加工和模拟陶瓷材料的切割。 这些结果将有助于制造商生产陶瓷元件的产品。 该中心将贡献其在精密加工和计量、材料表征和有限元分析领域的专业知识。 “第三浪潮”将向该中心提供其用于该项目的软件，并提供培训，作为其对该项目实物捐助的一部分。 Third Wave在金属切削操作建模方面拥有丰富的经验。 然而，Third Wave没有对氮化硅等陶瓷的加工建模的经验。 合作研发将为Third Wave提供直接参与研究工作的机会，为氮化硅等陶瓷工件开发加工模拟包。 这项工作是ESTA和第三波之间两年多的讨论，以建立一个联合的合作努力的产物。 人们的兴趣一直很高，而且将继续很高，但来自小公司和大学的障碍已经高到足以阻止任何进展。 通常的问题，如缺乏财政资源和人员的可用性，使我们无法实现任何进展，走向一个可行的研究计划。 该中心的两个附属公司，卡特彼勒和康明斯，表示有兴趣在陶瓷加工建模。 两家公司都为该中心的陶瓷加工项目做出了贡献。
