Edge effects with the Preston equation for a circular tool and workpiece

TLDR
A new model in which the pressure is higher at the edge is applied to the case of a circular tool that polishes a circular workpiece and correctly predicts that a greater amount of material is removed from the edge of the workpiece.
Abstract
In a polishing process the wear is greater at the edge when the tool extends beyond the border of the workpiece. To explain this effect, we propose a new model in which the pressure is higher at the edge. This model is applied to the case of a circular tool that polishes a circular workpiece. Our model correctly predicts that a greater amount of material is removed from the edge of the workpiece.

Parametric modeling of edge effects for polishing tool influence functions.

TL;DR: A new parametric model is provided that fits 5 parameters to measured data to accurately predict the edge TIF for cases of a polishing tool that is either spinning or orbiting over the edge of the workpiece.

Edge control in CNC polishing, paper 2: simulation and validation of tool influence functions on edges

TL;DR: A model that can predict edge TIFs based on surface-speed profiles and pressure distributions over the polishing spot at the edge of the part, the latter calculated by finite element analysis and verified by direct force measurement is presented.

Edge effect in fluid jet polishing.

TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate that the removal function has a ring-shaped profile, except for a little change in the size at the operated area even if the nozzle extends beyond the edge of the sample, so that the classical edge effect can be neglected in FJP.

Modelling and measurement of polishing tool influence functions for edge control

TL;DR: Progress is presented on the development of edge control for fabrication of mirror segments potentially for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) and a model based on measured IFs data was described that allowed us accurately to predict the edge profile.
