US-India Cooperative Research: Magnetic Field Assisted Finishing Process

0217947 Komanduri描述：该奖项支持美国和印度在机械工程领域的合作研究项目，名为磁场辅助抛光工艺。调查人员是俄克拉荷马州立大学(OSU)的兰加·科曼杜里(Ranga Komanduri)和坎普尔印度理工学院(IITK)的维杰·贾恩(Vijay Jain)。他们的主要研究重点是利用磁场辅助抛光对先进材料进行抛光。他们的协作工作将对先进材料的超精密加工和精加工产生直接影响。这是一个当前非常感兴趣的领域，将有助于从根本上理解超精密加工过程。范围：美国PI是公认的磁悬浮技术发展的领导者，并在俄亥俄州立大学建立了最先进的研究机构。他们一直是美国先进材料抛光领域最活跃的团体之一。印度派是磁性研磨抛光工艺方面的专家，他在制造方面的工作也得到了广泛的认可。他们的合作将推动各自互补领域的技术进步，并打算利用他们的联合知识库，将他们的研究扩展到一项新技术，即先进材料的磁流变磨料流抛光。该项目将支持一名美国研究生的国际经历，并加强俄亥俄州立大学和坎普尔IIT之间的合作。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室和设计、制造与工业创新部联合资助。

0217947Komanduri Description: This award supports a US-India collaborative research project in mechanical engineering entitled Magnetic Field Assisted Finishing Process. The investigators are Ranga Komanduri of Oklahoma State University (OSU) and Vijay Jain of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK). The primary focus of their research is the finishing of advanced materials by magnetic field assisted polishing. Their collaborative work will have a direct impact on ultra-precision machining and finishing of advanced materials. This is an area of high current interest and will contribute to fundamental understanding of the ultra-precision machining process. Scope: The US PI is a recognized leader in the development of magnetic float technology and has established a state-of-the-art research facility at OSU. They have been one of the most active groups in the finishing of advanced materials in the U.S. The Indian PI, an expert in magnetic abrasive finishing processes, is also well recognized for his work in manufacturing. Their collaboration will advance technologies in each of their complementary areas and, by taking advantage of their combined knowledge base, they intend to extend their studies to a new technology, the magnetorheological abrasive flow finishing of advanced materials. This project will support an international experience for a US graduate student and result in stronger cooperation between OSU and the IIT,Kanpur. This project is jointly funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Design, Manufacture, & Industrial Innovation.
