Abstract: The linear theory of chatter has been generalized to any machining configuration without a priori assumptions on either the direction of the cutting force or the modal directions of the machine ...

Abstract: The dynamics of the metal cutting process are identified by a new and simple experimental method that permits the direct determination of the cutting transfer functions from input-output ...

Abstract: The dynamics of the structure of a lathe at the cutting point are directly identified under normal machining operation using an improved version of a method originally proposed by Opitz and ...
