Abstract

A method for predicting simultaneous dynamic stability limit of thin-walled workpiece high-speed milling process is described. The proposed approach takes into account the variations of dynamic characteristics of workpiece with the tool position. A dedicated thin-walled workpiece representative of a typical industrial application is designed and modeled by finite element method. The curvilinear equation of modal characteristics changing with tool position is regressed. A specific dynamic stability lobe diagram is then elaborated by scanning the dynamic properties of workpiece along the machined direction throughout the machining process. The results show that, during thin-walled workpiece milling process, material removing plays an important part on the change of dynamic characteristics of system, and the stability limit curves are dynamic curves with time–variable. In practical machining, some suggestion is interpreted in order to avoid the vibrations and increase the chatter free material removal rate and surface finish. Then investigations are compared and verified by high-speed milling experiments with thin-walled workpiece.
