Abstract
This paper describes a time-domain simulation for predicting surface finish in modulated tool path (MTP) turning, which uses sinusoidal axis motions in the feed direction to produce discontinuous chips for ductile workpiece materials. The simulation includes: the low frequency and low amplitude tool oscillation in the feed direction; the time-varying chip thickness, cutting force, and tool displacement; and the plastic side flow effect used to calibrate the effective tool nose radius. Comparisons between predicted and measured surface profiles are presented for turning a 6061-T6 aluminum cylinder as a function of the MTP oscillation frequency and amplitude with discontinuous chip formation.
