Abstract

Low radial immersion end-milling involves intermittent cutting. If the tool is flexible, its motion in both the x- and y-directions affects the chip load and cutting forces, leading to chatter instability under certain conditions. Interrupted cutting complicates stability analysis by imposing sharp periodic variations in the dynamic model. Stability predictions for the 2-DOF model differ significantly from prior 1-DOF models of interrupted cutting. Stability boundaries of the milling process are determined by three techniques and compard in this paper: (1) a frequency-domain technique developed by Altintas and Budak; (2) a method based on time finite element analysis; and (3) the statistical variance of periodic 1/tooth samples in a time-marching simulation. Each method has advantages in different situations. The frequency-domain technique is fastest, and is accurate except at very low radial immersions. The temporal FEA method is significantly more efficient than time-marching simulation, and provides accurate stability predictions at small radial immersions. The veriance estimate is a robust and versatile measure of stability that can be applied to experimental tests as well as simulation.
