Application of the dimensionless Aggressiveness number in abrasive processes

The chip thickness is often used to characterize abrasive processes, particularly grinding. Unfortunately, because of the seemingly random nature geometrically undefined cutting points and difficulty in estimating cutting-point density, notoriously difficult quantify. Recently, dimensionless Aggressiveness number has gained popularity it circumvents need quantify wheel topography applicable any geometry contact. This paper shows how concept applies most common geometries can be achieve practical results a variety applications.
