A Model Laboratory for Material Removal Processes.

本项目允许本科生获得现代材料去除过程实验室的经验。实验室实验包括从测量加工零件的精度到测量加工零件的精度，再到测量表面光洁度、切削力、刀具磨损温度/颤振。用于测量这些变量的技术包括：使用主动系统（如石英测功机）测量力，使用热电偶测量温度，以及使用声信号测量磨损。本实验室主要配套设备包括：轮廓仪、微电子测压元件、数控铣床、信号分析仪、声发射换能器和数据采集系统。这笔奖金将由受资助者提供等额的奖金。

This project permits undergraduate students to gain experience with a modern material-removal processes laboratory. The laboratory experiments include topics ranging from measurement of accuracy of a machined part to measurement of accuracy of a machined part to measurement of surface finish, cutting forces, tool wear- temperature/chatter. The techniques employed to measure these variables include: measurement of forces using active systems such as quartz dynamometers, measurement of temperature using thermocouples, and measurement of wear from acoustic signals. The major equipment supporting this lab includes: profilometer, peize-electric load cell, a CNC mill, a signal analyzer, an acoustic emission transducer and a data acquisition system. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
