Abstract :
An approach is presented from a system engineering perspective to integrate tool-path control and surface topography generation for the quality control of machined surfaces. This approach is based on strategic links between variability of material properties, cutting mechanics in microscale, structural dynamics of machine tools, integration of toll vibratory and geometric motions, and surface topography generation. By combining experimental and analytical work, this research provides manufacturing industry with a computer-based method to control machined surface topographies
