Biography
Katsuhiro Maekawa is a Japanese mechanical engineer whose research concentrates on metal cutting theory, finite-element modelling of machining processes, tool–chip interface mechanics, and machinability of difficult alloys. For many years affiliated with Ibaraki University, he has published extensively in JSME, CIRP, and related manufacturing journals. With Thomas H. C. Childs, Toshiyuki Obikawa, and Yasuo Yamane he co-authored Metal Machining: Theory and Applications (Arnold, 2000), a graduate-level synthesis of analytical and numerical approaches to turning, milling, and grinding.
