Abstract

This paper describes a method to produce analytical radial depth of cut stability lobe diagrams that include process damping. The stability limit was defined using the radial, rather than axial, depth due to the path planning approach for many computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs, which remove material layer-by-layer with a varying radial immersion. Experimental validation of the predicted stability limits was performed and the results are presented for both the process damping (low cutting speed) range and higher cutting speeds.
