Abstract
This paper provides a review of active materials in the context of applications to manufacturing machining processes. The important concepts and background of active materials are briefly introduced. After which, the applications of these materials are discussed as applied to relevant themes in machining processes. A brief overview of research work on experimental and theoretical studies on various process monitoring and control is considered, and several research papers on these topics are cited. This paper concludes with a discussion of future research areas and a suggests path forward.
