Bio |
Dr.
Endres received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1992. He is currently an Associate
Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering – Engineering
Mechanics at Michigan Technological University. His primary research interests
include fundamental cutting mechanics, machine-tool system dynamics, and
mechanistic modeling techniques. He has contributed greatly to the fundamental
understanding and analysis of the effects of the blunt edge and wear-land
found on most cutting tools. Another significant aspect of his work focuses
on analytical machining dynamics, including solutions for vibration level
and stability in the presence of multiple/parallel processes, real tooling
geometry, periodic time variation, high and ultrahigh speeds, and more
realistic machine-tool dynamics. Recent research is addressing the dynamic
modeling and manufacture of fixed interfaces, texture-engineered joints
and hybrid joints. |
