Contact interaction in the abrasive machining of rubber coatings

Abstract

Numerical solution of contact problems for the abrasive machining of rubber coatings on the internal cylindrical surfaces of metal components yields values of the contact stress, the contact length, and the penetration depth at contact of an abrasive wheel and a rubber coating and at contact of a single abrasive grain with the machined material. The relation between the machining parameters of the workpiece geometry is established.
