Present Research Situation and Future Perspectives of Grinding Process Simulation System

Abstract

Grinding, as the last process of most products, directly affect the machining accuracy and surface quality of the product. Multi-parameter input and output and nonlinear mapping between the parameters of the grinding process play the most important part of computer simulation applied to grinding process. In this paper, the theory of computer simulation was introduced and a detail research on status of grinding process model and grinding process simulation system at foreign and domestic were elaborated, focused on the foreign academic research in this area. In the end, the paper presents an outlook of the research of grinding process simulation system.
