Numerical analysis of single grit grinding on aluminum workpiece

Grinding is a finishing process used in almost every industry. The purpose of this research is to study the effects of grinding on aluminum. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to numerically simulate grinding by using microscale modeling. It is found that though under grinding, stress mises developed do not exceed yield stress. The force variation and displacement parameters have been correspondingly discussed. The effects of grinding on the workpiece with and without lubrication
