WORKSHOP: Unsolved Problems and Research Needs in Thermal Analysis of Material Removal Processes; Stillwater, OK, October 23-25, 2002

本次研讨会的目标是：(1)鉴于新的实验技术、数值方法和分析方面的快速发展（由于功能强大、价格低廉的个人计算机的可用性），评估最新的技术并解决各种材料去除过程的热方面的研究需求；(2)为解决“绿色制造”提供热能基础，这对保护车间环境和相关人员的健康和安全至关重要。研讨会的重点将是各种材料去除过程的热方面，如金属切割，研磨和抛光。各种实验、分析和数值技术将被严格审查，研究需求和机会将被确定。

The goals of this workshop are: (1) To assess the state-of-the-art and to address the research needs in the thermal aspects of various material removal processes, in view of the rapid advancements in new experimental techniques, numerical methods, and analytical aspects (due to the availability of powerful, inexpensive personal computers); and (2) To provide the thermal basis for addressing "green manufacturing" which is so critical for the protection of the health and safety of the environment and associated personnel of the shop floor.The focus of the workshop will be thermal aspects of various material removal processes, such as metal cutting, grinding, and polishing. Various experimental, analytical, and numerical techniques will be critically reviewed and research needs and opportunities will be identified.
