  4. Abstract:
  5. Models for chatter prediction in machining often use a mechanistic force model that calculate the force as the product of a material dependent cutting constant and chip area. However, in reality, the forces are the result of complex interaction between the tool and the chip, and are affected by many factors. The effects of these complex, and often nonlinear, factors on the machining dynamics may only be included in chatter prediction if the chip formation process is simulated concurrently with simulation of the machining dynamics. In this paper, finite element simulation of the chip formation process is combined with simulation of chatter dynamics and the inter-relationship between the chip formation process and the chatter phenomenon is investigated. Mesh adaptation technique is used to simulate the chip formation within an FEM elastoplastic analysis with dynamic effects and frictional contact. The combined modeling predicts the occurrence of process damping at low cutting speeds, which other models are generally unable to predict
