Abstract

To analyze the relationship between the movement characteristics of granular media and the particle action behavior, the numerical simulation model of the machining scheme of the blade-combined closed cavity is established based on the discrete element method (DEM). The characteristics of the normal force of oblique triangle particles under collision and scratching motion are analyzed. A method of division of particle action behavior based on the normal force’s duration is proposed. The relationship between the particle movement characteristics of the blade basin and the blade back and the particle action behavior is clarified. The processing experiment and the test force experiment were carried out. The results show that in horizontal vibratory finishing, the particle group at the blade basin produces a periodic movement with a long contact time with the blade basin’s surface under gravity, which is dominated by long-term scratching. Under the shear expansion, the particle group at the blade back produces a periodic movement with a short contact time with the blade back surface, which is dominated by short-term scratching. The cumulative action time of each position on the blade surface is the main factor affecting the uniformity of machining. Compared with the particle group dominated by long-term scratching, the particle group dominated by short-term scratching has more intense movement, higher fluidization degree, and greater force on the workpiece.
