Development of a Stability Prediction Tool for the Identification of Stable Milling Processes

  • Conference paper
Process Machine Interactions

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Production Engineering ((LNPE))

Abstract

This chapter deals with a new mathematical model to characterize the interaction between machine and workpiece in amilling process. The model consists of a multi-body system representing the milling machine and a linear thermo-elastic workpiece model. An extensive experimental analysis supported the development of the governing model equations. A numerical solution strategy is outlined and complemented by simulations of stable and unstable milling processes including workpiece effects. The last part covers the development of a new algorithm for the stability analysis of large milling systems.
