Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to investigate the nano abrasive machining of monocrystalline gallium nitride (GaN). Effects of the cutting velocity, depth of cut (DOC) and abrasive shape on the atomic strain, stress, temperature, cutting forces, and deformation layer are systematically investigated, aiming at understanding the deformation behaviour of monocrystalline GaN during nano abrasive machining. The results show that the strain, stress and temperature were increased by using the higher cutting velocity, the larger DOC or cub-octahedral abrasive. Being affected by both th...
