Abstract: The analysis of a cutting process through grinding and its influence on the environment involves the creation of a physical model, an idealized approximation of reality, which reflects the development of principle and implies the admission of simplifying hypotheses. Based on the logic model, is necessary to be able to study the phenomena that accompany the technological process under investigation, starting from the beginning of its design phase. In order to be able to analyze more precisely the abrasion process, was considered the sequence in which an abrasive granule is in full action of detaching a chip. The paper proposes the mathematical modeling of the roughness of the surfaces processed by grinding based on the spherical model, which is a complex problem when it is desired to determine the influence of the technological parameters on the quality of the processed parts and on the environment
Brief Biography of the Speaker: Badea Lepadatescu is currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Technological Engineering and Industrial Management of Transylvania University of Brasov, Romania. He obtained his doctoral degree in 1998 in the area of machining through superfinishing process. After he graduated he worked five years as design engineer at Roman truck factory in the field of manufacturing processes where he designed many devices and special machine tools especially for superfinishing process. Started on 1982 he worked as research engineer at Transilvania University of Brasov, and after 1997 he is teaching at Department of Manufacturing Engineering. His main academic interests include Tolerance and Dimensional Control, Manufacturing Engineering Processes, Automation Processes, and Renewable Energy Sources. The research accomplishments are reflected through publications in a eight books and authored or co-authored over 130 papers published at international conferences. He has extensive experience in both experimental and theoretical research work having more than 50 contracts with factories to design and produce machine tools for machining processes. Also in the field of Renewable Energy Sources together with a team he made wind turbines, with horizontal axis for taking water, and with vertical axis to produce electric energy. He has been speaker to international conferences, has moderated forums, organized symposia, workshops and sessions at major international conferences
