Abstract
The contact zones created by the interaction of a compliant abrasive tool and an aluminum plate are evaluated using a three-dimensional analysis technique. These contact zones are created by varying the brushing parameters, i.e brush rotational speed, depth of brush penetration, and number of brush/workpart contact revolutions. The analysis evaluates contact zones using some theories developed in earlier research. This paper also interrelates contact zone characteristics with the different brushing parameters.
