Principal Investigator: Gábor Stépán
Professor of Applied Mechanics
Gábor Stépán is Professor of Applied Mechanics at the Department of Applied Mechanics at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
His internationally renowned scientific contributions related to machine tool technology can be found below.
Main fields of research related to machining technology
- Stability Islands: Isolated parameter domains of stable cutting for high-speed milling
- Micro-Chaos: Small amplitude chaotic oscillations originated in small-scale strong nonlinearities such as contact loss
- Act-and-Wait Control: Stabilization of delayed systems with parametric excitation
- Semi-Discretization of Delayed Systems: A powerful numerical technique for time-periodic time-delayed systems such as high-speed milling
- Fly-over Effect: Loss of contact between tool and workpiece during unstable cutting leading to micro-chaos
