Mechanics Of Machining

Machining is a metal removal process, which can be accomplished by applying force on raw material by means of a cutting tool. This course aims at explaining the physics of the cutting process. The course will contain discussion of statics, kinematics and kinetics of the cutting process. Experimental findings relevant to mechanics of the process will also be discussed. The course will also include introductory discussion on non-traditional machining processes.INTENDED AUDIENCE : UG and PG students of Mechanical/Production/ManufacturingPREREQUISITES : Strength/Mechanics of Material and Materials Science at UG levelINDUSTRY SUPPORT : Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Die manufacturing industries, Automobile Industries, Machine Tool Industries, Precision medical equipment manufacturing industries.
