This paper investigates the performance of conventional turning and ultrasonically assisted turning (UAT) processes with plane and textured cutting inserts. Simulations based on the finite-element method were carried out using a software package ABAQUS/Explicit (Dassault Systemes, France). The obtained results were validated experimentally by employing a specially developed UAT setup. The purpose of the paper is to analyze cutting-force variation by the use of textured cutting inserts. Optimized dimensions of the texture pattern were used to model textured cutting inserts. The cutting-force variation in UAT was assessed with finite-element method, confirming diminishing cutting forces at a tool–workpiece interface during a noncontact time. The use of the textured cutting inserts in the UAT process resulted in the lowest cutting forces when compared to a plane tool in UAT as well as both plane and textured tools in the conventional turning process.

In the process of turning, pointing at the uncertain phenomenon of cutting which is caused by the disturbance of random factors, for determining the uncertain scope of cutting force, the integrated symmetric fuzzy number and the finite element method (FEM) are used in the prediction of cutting force. The method used symmetric fuzzy number to establish fuzzy function between cutting force and three factors and obtained the uncertain interval of cutting force by linear programming. At the same time, the change curve of cutting force with time was directly simulated by using thermal-mechanical coupling FEM; also the nonuniform stress field and temperature distribution of workpiece, tool, and chip under the action of thermal-mechanical coupling were simulated. The experimental result shows that the method is effective for the uncertain prediction of cutting force.

In order to study the distribution of the stress field in the high-speed intermittent cutting process, finite element model of high-speed intermittent cutting is established. Exponential material model of the constitutive equation and adaptive grid technology are applied in the finite element analysis software AdvantEdge. The material processing is simulated under certain cutting conditions with FEM ( Finite Element Method ) and the distribution of cutting force, stress field, and temperature field are received. A periodic variation to the cutting force and temperature is showed in the simulation of high-speed intermittent cutting. Highest value of the milling temperature appears in front contacting area of the knife -the chip.and maximum stress occurs at the tip of tool or the vicinity of the main cutting edge. The analysis of stress and strain fields in-depth is of great significance to improve tool design and durability of tool.

Based on the study on metal cutting theories and rigid-plastic finite element method, taking Sweden SECO lathe tool MDT as the researching object, the cutting force in cutting process is analyzed after a cutting process simulation model is constructed using finite element method. Different simulation parameters and cutting parameters are used to carry out analyses time after time. The dynamic changing curves of the cutting force in cutting process are obtained. Through the comparison of the cutting force in different cutting conditions, the influence of cutting parameters on the cutting force is summarized. The research can provide useful data for improvement of metal cutting technology and tool cutting performance.

Formation of chip is a typical severe plastic deformation progress in machining which is only single deformation stage. The large strain, low temperature and deformation force are the major premises to create significant microstructure refinement in metals and alloys. A finite element method was developed to characterize the distribution of strain, temperature and cutting force. Effects of rake angle, cutting velocity and friction on effective strain, cutting force imposed in the chip are researched and the conditions which lead to the large stain deformation in machining are highlighted. The results of simulation have shown that chip materials with ultrafine grained and high hardness can be produced with negative tool rake angle at some lower cutting velocity.

In the milling process of thin wall workpiece, the more cutter flutes, the high metal remove ratio can be gotten. Milling forces with two-futes and four-flutes milling cutter were anlysised and compared using finite element method. The possibility and advantage of machining thin wall workpiece with four flutes milling cutter was introduced. The four flutes cutter can improve the metal remove ratio, and cutting force is more uniform in general.

The process control mechanism of ARB(accumulative roll bonding) process was studied. Based on micro-plastic theory, the principal stress method of macro-plastic theory and probability theory, theoretical models of rolling force and its standard deviation calculation were established. Moreover, shear deformation was analyzed with the finite element method and the finite element model established was verified through comparing with the experiment. Furthermore, through calculating the rolling force of ARB process of the typical parameters, roll force variation of every cycle was obtained and the theoretical model was verified through comparing with the results of the finite element method. The study in the paper provides analysis method and theory foundation for process control and manufacturing of ARB process.
