In order to ensure the stability of the machining process, it is vital to control the machining condition during the milling process. While the feed-motor current is related to many physical variables, such as the cutting force and tool wear, we can indicate it as the key variables to monitoring the conditions of the milling process. A predictive model of the feed-motor current amplitude is established in this paper. The change regulation of the transient current amplitude during the milling process is investigated, and the effect of the spindle speed on the transient current amplitude is studied as well. Since the transient current amplitude is time-varying, the predictive model is a typical panel data type. In this case, the varying-coefficient model (VCM), a potential soft computing method, is applied to solve this predictive model. Then several experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of VCM method. Results show that the predicted values match the experimental value well, and the correctness of the predictive model for transient current amplitude is also validated.

Cutting chatter is extremely harmful to the machining process, and it is of great significance to eliminate chatter through analyzing the stability of the machining process. In this work, the stability of the milling process with multiple delays is investigated. Considering the regeneration effect, the dynamics of the milling process with variable pitch cutter is modeled as periodic coefficients delayed differential equations (DDEs) with multiple delays. An adaptive variable-step numerical integration method (AVSNIM) considering the effect of the helix angle is developed firstly, which can discretize the cutting period accurately, thereby improving the calculation accuracy of the stability limit of the milling process. The accuracy and efficiency of the AVSNIM are verified through a benchmark milling model. Subsequently, a novel spindle speed-dependent discretization algorithm is proposed, which is combined with the AVSNIM to further reduce the calculation time of the stability lobes diagram (SLD). The simulation experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the calculation time.

In the paper a cutting stability in the milling process of nickel based alloy Inconel 625 is analysed. This problem is often considered theoretically, but the theoretical finding do not always agree with experimental results. For this reason, the paper presents different methods for instability identification during real machining process. A stability lobe diagram is created based on data obtained in impact test of an end mill. Next, the cutting tests were conducted in which the axial cutting depth of cut was gradually increased in order to find a stability limit. Finally, based on the cutting force measurements the stability estimation problem is investigated using the recurrence plot technique and Hilbert vibration decomposition method.

ABSTRACTThe aerospace and automotive industries demand the development of new manufacturing processes. The productivity during machining of very flexible aerospace and automotive aluminum components is limited for self-excited vibrations. New solutions are needed to suppress vibrations that affect the accuracy and quality of the machined surfaces. Rejection of one piece implies an increase in the manufacturing cost and time. This paper is focused on the design, manufacturing and characterization of a magnetorheological damper. The damper was attached to a thin-floored component and a magnetic field was controlled in order to modify the damping behavior of the system. The dynamics of the machining process was developed by considering a three-degree-of-freedom model. This study was experimentally validated with a bull-nose end milling tool to manufacture monolithic parts with thin wall and thin floor. Experimental tests and characterization of the magnetorheological damper permitted to improve the surface finish and productivity during the machining of thin-floored components. A further aim of this paper was to develop a rheological damper by using magnetorheological fluids (MR) to change the thin floor rigidity with voltage. The stability of the milling process was also analytically described considering one, two or three degrees of freedom, using a mathematical integration model based on the Enhanced Multistage Homotopy Perturbation Method (EMHPM).

This paper primarily deals with suppression of chatter in end-milling process. Improving the damping is one way to achieve higher stability for machining process. For this purpose a damper is proposed that is composed of a core and a multi fingered hollow cylinder which are shrink fitted in each other and their combination is shrink fitted inside an axial hole along the tool axis. This structure causes a resisting friction stress during bending vibration. Using FEA-ANSYS the structure is simulated. Then a parameter study is carried out where the frequency response and the depth of cut are calculated and tabulated to obtain the most effective configuration. The optimal configuration of tool is fabricated and finite element results are validated using modal test. The results show a high improvement in performance of the tool with proposed damper. Good agreement between experiments and modeling is obtained.

In this paper CNC end milling process have been optimized in cutting force and surface roughness based on the three process parameters (i.e.) speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Since the end milling process is used for abrading the wear caused is very high, in order to reduce the wear caused by high cutting force and to decrease the surface roughness, the optimization is much needed for this process. Especially for materials like aluminium 7010, this kind of study is important for further improvement in machining process and also it will improve the stability of the machine.

For modeling and optimizing the process parameters of manufacturing problems in the present days, numerical and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) methods are widely using. In manufacturing environments, main focus is given to the finding of Optimum machining parameters. Therefore the present research is aimed at finding the optimal process parameters for End milling process. The End milling process is a widely used machining process because it is used for the rough and finish machining of many features such as slots, pockets, peripheries and faces of components. The present work involves the estimation of optimal values of the process variables like, speed, feed and depth of cut, whereas the metal removal rate (MRR) and tool wear resistance were taken as the output .Experimental design is planned using DOE. Optimum machining parameters for End milling process were found out using ANN and compared to the experimental results. The obtained results provβed the ability of ANN method for End milling process modeling and optimization.

<span><p align="LEFT"><span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;" face="Times New Roman">Titanium and its alloys have been experiencing extensive development over the past few decades. They have found wide applications in the aerospace, biomedical and automotive industries owing to their good strength-to-weight ratio and high corrosion resistance. Machining performance is often limited by chatter vibrations at the tool-workpiece interface. Chatter is an abnormal tool behaviour which is one of the most critical problems in the machining process and must be avoided to improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the finished product. This research aims at investigating chatter trends in the end milling process and to identify machine parameters that have effects on chatter during machining. The machine parameters investigated include axial feed rate, spindle revolute speed and depth of cut. In this research, experimental data was collected using sensors to analyze the existence of chatter vibrations on each processing condition. This research showed that the combination of the machine parameters, feed rate and spindle speed within certain proportions has an influence on machine vibrations during end milling and if not managed properly, may lead to chatter. </span></span></p> <p align="LEFT"></p>

By taking into account the regenerative chatter vibration, a nonlinear dynamics model for high speed ball-end milling is proposed. The effect of dynamic components of milling forces on chatter is analyzed. A method to predict the stability limits of high speed ball-end milling process is proposed and the stability lobes diagram is simulated. The comparison of experimental milling forces with the simulation results indicates the high accuracy of the model and the effectiveness of the simulation algorithms. The proposed method provides a theoretical instruction for parameters selection and optimization in milling processing.

Chatter is caused by two main mechanisms: the regenerative waviness and the mode coupling. Both of these two chatter mechanisms always exist simultaneously, but most studies only discuss the regenerative chatter behavior. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mode coupling behavior in end milling process. A mechanical model considering both of the regenerative and mode coupling effects is then constructed to simulate the milling dynamics. It is shown that the stability of milling is dominated by the eigenvalues of the process matrix and the structure vibration trajectories are affected by the eigenvectors of the process matrix. The rotation direction of chatter vibration is an important feature to determine whether mode coupling chatter occurs or not. By analyzing vibration trajectories, this paper then shows that chatter vibration will rotate in the direction which periodically accumulates the vibration energy. Finally, some methods for adjusting the cutting conditions to avoid the mode coupling chatter are proposed.

This work presents a non-invasive and low-cost alternative to traditional methods for measuring the performance of machining processes directly on existing machine tools. A prototype measuring system has been developed based on non-contact microphones, a custom designed signal conditioning board and signal processing techniques that take advantage of the underlying physics of the machining process. Experiments have been conducted to estimate the depth of cut during end-milling process by means of the measurement of the acoustic emission energy generated during operation. Moreover, the predicted values have been compared with well established methods based on cutting forces measured by dynamometers.
