About
Yindong Zhang is a pioneering researcher in precision manufacturing, with a primary focus on robotic gasbag polishing techniques for free-form mould surfaces. His major contributions lie in developing material removal models and contact control strategies that enhance the efficiency and uniformity of automated polishing processes. In his seminal 2008 work, Zhang established a material removal model based on the Preston equation, analyzing the distributions of linear velocity and contact stress within the circular contact area between a flexible polishing tool and the mould surface. This model, which has garnered 10 citations, provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing contact force and maximizing polishing consistency. His earlier 2007 study introduced an improved spinning-inflated-gasbag polishing tool with three detachable modules, enabling precise track planning and pressure control to achieve well-proportioned surface quality. Despite modest citation counts, Zhang’s work is notable for its practical impact on industrial automation, bridging theoretical modeling with real-world applications in mold finishing. His research remains a key reference for engineers seeking to advance robotic polishing technologies, demonstrating a commitment to solving complex challenges in surface engineering.
