An analytic mechanistic force model has been developed to simulate the cutting forces in milling operations. Steps taken to develop the model consisted of cutter surface representation, chip removal kinematics, cutter force definition, and determination of the integration limits from the force equations. The cutter surface is represented by ruled surfaces that are a function of cutter geometry. Cutter forces are determined by integrating the pressure and friction loads acting on these cutter surfaces. The integration limits that are functions of the rotation angle are established. Several techniques dealing with the process parameters are discussed. The model uses process dependent parameters representing normal pressure, chip flow friction, and chip flow kinematics. The paper discusses how process data can be used to establish values for the parameters.

An experimental procedure was developed to separated the uncertain cutting forces generated by the minor cutting edges for interpreted the force components generated by the main and minor cutting edge. Cutting forces generated by minor cutting edges were investigated by experiments in precision hard part machining hardened GCr15 bearing steel with BZN8200 PCBN tool. With the improved chip loads, constitutive model and chip flow angle model, the predicted cutting forces show great agreement with the experimental results and verified the reliability of an improved cutting force model.

The aim of this paper is to obtain the stability lobes for milling operations with a nonlinear cutting force model. The work is focused on the generation of stability lobes based on a formulation with Chebyshev polynomials and the semidiscretization method, considering a nonlinear cutting force model. Comparisons were conducted between experimental data at 5% radial immersion with aluminum workpiece and predictions based on Chebyshev and semidiscretization. In all cases, the use of nonlinear cutting force model provides better prediction of process stability conditions.

Efficient, accurate geometric modeling for three-axis sculptured surfaces milling is quite challenging due to complexity of workpiece geometry change during machining. This paper presents an efficient, accurate approach to extracting the cutter/workpiece engagement (CWE) geometry and applying this geometry to an existing mechanistic force model in order to predict instantaneous cutting force, torque and power. In our research, a basic geometric modeling of chip removal in three-axis milling is investigated, and an effective model is proposed to represent the cutter swept profile. Computationally efficient, closed-form formulations are derived for general APT (Automatically Programmed Tools) cutter geometry. A Z-level B-Rep model is adopted to represent the in-process workpiece model, and an innovative geometric approach is used to extract the CWE geometry. Then, a mechanistic cutting force model is integrated to predict the cutting forces. As a result, a milling process simulation system is developed for three-axis virtual milling of sculptured surfaces. The developed system is experimentally verified by comparing the simulation results with actual forces measured from machining a test surface.

To enhance the implementation of micro milling, it is necessary to clearly understand the dynamic characteristics of micro milling so that proper machining parameters can be used to meet the requirements of application. By taking the effect of minimum chip thickness and rake angle into account, a new cutting force model of micro-milling which is function the instantaneous cutting area and machining coefficients was developed. According to the instantaneous rotation trajectory of cutting edge, the cutting area projected to xy-plane was determined by rectangular integral method, and used to solve the instantaneous cutting area. After the machining coefficients were solved, the cutting force of micro-milling for different radial depths of cut and different axial depths of cut can be predicted. The results of micro-milling experimental have shown that the force model can predict the cutting force accurately by which the optimal cutting parameters can be selected for micro-milling application.

A unified oblique cutting force model for flat end mills is developed. In this model, the cutting force is bridged among cutter geometry, material properties and cutting parameters. The cutter angles, material parameters and cutting parameters are the only inputs so that the model is applicable for different cutter-workpiece combinations and cutting parameters. The parameters in the model are solved by the geometric relations, applying Maximum Shear Stress Principle and Stabler’s chip flow rule. The material parameters are identified in a new method with orthogonal milling tests. The simulation results of the proposed model are in good agreement with experiments.

The productivity during the machining of thin-floor components is limited due to unstable vibrations, which lead to poor surface quality and part rejection at the last stage of the manufacturing process. In this article, a semi-active magnetorheological damper device is designed in order to suppress chatter conditions during the milling operations of thin-floor components. To validate the performance of the magnetorheological (MR) damper device, a 1 degree of freedom experimental setup was designed to mimic the machining of thin-floor components and then, the stability boundaries were computed using the Enhance Multistage Homotopy Perturbation Method (EMHPM) together with a novel cutting force model in which the bull-nose end mill is discretized in disks. It was found that the predicted EMHPM stability lobes of the cantilever beam closely follow experimental data. The end of the paper shows that the usage of the MR damper device modifies the stability boundaries with a productivity increase by a factor of at least 3.
