Machining of Ceramics and Composites (Hardcover)

Abrasive machining of ceramics and ceramic-matrix composites - green machining of advanced ceramics; mechanisms of material removal in abrasive machining of ceramics; grinding of advanced ceramics; high-speed grinding of ceramics; ductile regime grinding of brittle materials; lapping and polishing of glass and ceramics. Machining of metal-matrix and polymer composites - turning of fibber-reinforced plastics; milling of advanced composites; milling of polymer composites; machining of metal matrix composites; wear of cutting tools during machining of composites; environmental effects and safety in machining fibrous composites. Nontraditional machining methods -abrasive jet machining of glass and ceramics; water jet machining of composites and ceramics; ultrasonic machining of ceramics; rotary ultrasonic machining of ceramics; laser-assisted turning of ceramics. Inspection and damage evaluation - characterization; measurement of machining-induced residual stresses in ceramics; application of optical scattering methods to damage detection in ceramics.
