Abstract: There exist a great number of variational cutting force models for the case of plunge cutting but the analytical prediction of the parameters in these models is still elusive at best. The ...

Abstract: The application of a sequential equation error minimization method to the identification of the dynamics of machining systems is described here. The development of the identification method was ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new concept in the analysis and design of machine tool chatter control systems, the regeneration spectrum. This development follows from a recognition of the fact that ...

Abstract: A major problem in the active control of the boring process is developing a practical method of providing small-amplitude tool-tip positioning. The main thrust of the underlying research work ...

Abstract: Regenerative chatter is recognized as one of the primary performance limitations of a machine tool. In the past much attention has been focused on minimizing this problem by improving the ...

Abstract: A previously established theoretical basis for controlling both the static stiffness as well as dynamic vibrations and regenerative chatter in particular was implemented in the work described by ...

Abstract: The properties of low stiffness and low structural damping in boring bars are widely known to be factors resulting in chatter and inaccurate machining. The application of active control offers ...
