Associate Professor; PhD, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign

Machining Dynamics, Cutting Mechanics, Manufacturing Processes

Research Interests

Dr. Endres’ expertise is in manufacturing and design. He teaches courses in mechanical design, manufacturing processes, machining processes, machining process modeling, and machining dynamics. Endres’ research is in the areas of machining dynamics, cutting mechanics and mechanistic process modeling techniques. His experimental studies and associated model developments aim to improve the fundamental understanding of how the blunt edge and wear land found on most cutting tools affects forces and machined surface integrity. Another significant aspect of his work focuses on dynamic modeling of machine-tool joints and analytical machining dynamics, including solutions for both vibration level and stability in the presence of multiple/parallel processes, real tooling geometry, periodic time variation, high and ultrahigh speeds, and realistic machine-tool dynamics.
