Simulation of Chip Segmentation in Metal Cutting Using ALE Finite Element Method
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Movahhedy, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Since it is important to obtain the suitable cutting conditions for machining and investigate the effect of various parameters on this process, the simulation of this process has been developed extensively by using the finite element method in recent years. Due to very large plastic deformation and also continuous chip flow, one of the most appropriate techniques in modeling chip formation is the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite element method which has been used in several papers using some traditional codes like ABAQUS or personal codes in recent years. However, one of the limitations in this method is the use of a continuous mesh retains with no change in connectivities which is...
