US-Spain Dissertation Enhancement Research: Experimental Evaluation of Low-Contact-Force Machining

这个为期一年的奖项将支持Joel Fortgang的论文改进项目，Joel Fortgang是佐治亚理工学院机械工程系的学生。他将与西班牙马德里理工大学ETSII教授Juan M. Sevillano合作。Fortgang先生的研究目标是开发提高低接触力精密机床的速度和质量的技术。Fortgang先生在西班牙的工作将对他就命令生成和辅助要素的设计和实施问题所制定的理论原则进行实验性评估。Fortgang先生将受益于西班牙实验室的特殊经验，该实验室的微型铣床用于生产超高精度零件。该项目的预期效益是在精密制造领域提高精密加工的吞吐量。提高精密零件的生产速度将为医疗设备等产品的消费者节省大量成本。

0413807SinghoseThis one-year award will support a dissertation enhancement project of Joel Fortgang, a student in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He will work with Prof. Juan M. Sevillano at the ETSII Polytechnic University of Madrid in Spain. The objective of Mr. Fortgang's research is to develop techniques for increasing speed and quality of low-contact-force precision machine tools. Mr. Fortgang's work in Spain will provide the experimental evaluation of theoretical principles he has developed on the design and implementation issues of command generation and auxiliary elements. Mr. Fortgang will benefit from the exceptional experience in the Spanish laboratory with its micro-mill, developed to produce ultra-high precision parts.An anticipated benefit of this project is an increased throughput for precision machining in the field of precision manufacturing. An increased speed of production of precision parts will provide significant cost savings to consumers in such products as medical devices.
