Abstract
Visualization of work surface topography through simulations is very challenging task in grinding process due to the complexity of wheel-work interactions with a very high number of cutting points (grits). Kinematic mapping of abrasive grits on a three-dimensional wheel topography enables the evaluation of ground surface topography through simulations. In this paper, a method for generating the ground surface topography based on wheel specifications is presented. Abrasive grits size, abrasives volume percentage and their nature of distribution on the wheel surface are considered in the modeling and visualization of wheel topography. The simulation results of ground surface topographies prove the feasibility of the developed method.
