Reliability of metal cutting tools: : Stochastic tool life modelling and optimization of tool replacement time

This PhD thesis is based on six articles and proposes new approaches for modelling of the life of cutting tools and for determining the optimal tool replacement time. These issues are very closely related and play a critical role in machining economics. Replacing a tool too early means wasting of it...
