0217947Komanduri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，名为磁场辅助精加工工艺。 研究人员是俄克拉荷马州州立大学（OSU）的Ranga Komanduri和坎普尔印度理工学院（IITK）的Vijay Jain。 他们研究的主要焦点是通过磁场辅助抛光对先进材料进行精加工。 他们的合作将对先进材料的超精密加工和精加工产生直接影响。 这是一个当前高度关注的领域，将有助于对超精密加工过程的基本理解。 适用范围：美国PI是公认的磁浮技术发展的领导者，并在俄勒冈州立大学建立了最先进的研究设施。 他们一直是美国先进材料精加工领域最活跃的团体之一。印度PI是磁性研磨精加工工艺的专家，他在制造业的工作也得到了广泛的认可。 他们的合作将推进各自互补领域的技术，并通过利用他们的综合知识基础，他们打算将研究扩展到一项新技术，即先进材料的磁流变磨料流精加工。 该项目将支持美国研究生的国际经验，并导致俄勒冈州立大学和IIT，坎普尔之间更强的合作。 该项目由国际科学与工程办公室和设计、制造、工业创新司共同资助。

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.
