A survey of recent grinding wheel topography models

Abstract

This paper provides a survey of grinding wheel topography models. Recent 1D, 2D, and 3D models are reviewed, and the important model components for a state-of-the-art 3D topography model are identified. Future directions for topography modeling are recommended and, based on this survey, a general modelling approach using grain size, shape, arrangement, and wheel dressing is proposed.
