Experimental results validate the model, demonstrating a 69% reduction in dishing with a soft cylindrical pad compared to a commercial pad. This improvement is attributed to increased real contact area and uniform pressure distribution due to minimized height variation and material compliance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55256,"journal":{"name":"Cirp Annals-Manufacturing Technology","volume":"74 1","pages":"Pages 465-469"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144611559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
