Abstract
Ultrasonic machining (USM) is an unconventional machining process which is commonly used for commercial machining of fragile and brittle materials such as ceramics, glass and semiconductor materials. The tool is an essential component of the ultrasonic machining system. In this paper, the emphasis has been given on evaluating the performance of the tool during USM process. The concentration has not been given by the previous researchers in analyzing the performance of the tool in the presence of various defects. The current study is developed on a numerical model for modal and fatigue analysis of the tool used in USM process under the presence of various defects and non-defects. In this regards, a dedicated finite element method (FEM) is used for understanding the physics of the process for performance and influence of the tool geometry. The mode shapes and fatigue life of the defective and non-defective conical tools are determined through modal and fatigue analysis.
