This project's goal is the determination of the correlation between cam         manufacturing technique and subsequent wear damage and cam follower             performance after run-in (break-in or wear-in).  It is primarily an             experimental study with a goal of generating an analytical predictive           model of cam run-in wear.  Cams are used extensively in production and          consumer machinery.  Much research has been done on cam design methods          but much less on cam manufacture.  Cams are expensive to make and more          research in this area is desirable as a step to optimizing cam                  manufacturing methods.
