Abstract

The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the finite element method can be used to model tensioning in circular sawblades. The finite element analysis is used to determine the residual stresses in the blade; the introduction of these stresses into a modal analysis allows us to predict the dynamic behavior (natural frequencies and critical speed) of the sawblades.

Zusammenfassung

Die vorliegende Untersuchung ist der Modellbildung des Spannens von Kreissägeblättern mittels der Methode der Finiten Elemente gewidmet. Die Finite Elemente Analyse wird dazu verwandt, die Restspannung des Sägeblattes zu bestimmen; die Berücksichtigung dieser Spannungen in der Modalen Analyse erlaubt es uns, das dynamische Verhalten der Sägeblätter (Eigenfrequenzen, kritische Drehzahl) vorauszusagen.
