RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Chang, Zhou A1 Hu, Lai T1 A Modified Thermal Model of Internal Grinding JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2022 VO 22 IS 5 SP 511 OP 518 DO 10.21062/mft.2022.064 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-202205-0004.php AB In the present study, an innovative method is proposed to improve the accuracy of thermal models of the grinding process. To this end, a set of orthogonal experiments are carried out to calculate heat flux using infrared temperature measurements. Then the convective heat transfer coefficient is modified based on the heat transfer and hydrodynamics theories. Finally, the modified heat flux and convective heat transfer coefficient are applied and a thermal model is established using ANSYS software. To verify the accuracy of the proposed model, a finite element grinding residual stress model based on the grinding heat and grinding force is established. By measuring the grinding residual stress and comparing it with the finite element residual stress model, the effectiveness of the grinding thermal model is indirectly verified. The obtained results demonstrate that the modified grinding thermal models are accurate and can be applied in engineering applications.
