Abstract

Self-excited vibration, or chatter, is an important consideration in machining operations due to its direct influence on part quality, tool life, and machining cost. At low machining speeds, a phenomenon referred to as process damping enables stable cutting at higher depths of cut than predicted with traditional analytical models. This paper describes an analytical stability model which includes a process damping force that is dependent on the surface normal velocity, chip width, cutting speed, and an empirical process damping coefficient. Model validation is completed using time domain simulation and turning experiments. The results indicate that the multiple degree of freedom model is able to predict the stability boundary using a single process damping coefficient.
