Purpose of Lab
This lab provides a multipurpose and interdisciplinary environment for both instructional and research-related machining operations. It is equipped with a variety of conventional and CNC machine tools. In addition to a range of sensors to measure, monitor and control machining processes. Current research work is focused on fundamental studies related to mechanistic modeling of machining processes, modeling of machining processes dynamics, monitoring of tool wear, machinability of various metals and finite element modeling of metal cutting. Currently, active research projects are focused on machinability of difficult-to-cut materials of interest to automotive and aerospace industries (e.g., MMCs and Titanium alloy).
