Abstract: The mechanism of torsional chatter in drilling differs qualitatively and quantitatively from other types of chatter. In this paper we show that torsional chatter can be explained by the ...

Abstract: Optimizing the milling process requires a priori knowledge of many process variables. However, the ability to include both milling stability and accuracy information is limited because current ...

Abstract: A quasi-static model of reaming is developed to explain oscillation of the tool during cutting and the resulting roundness errors in reamed holes. A tool with N evenly-spaced teeth often ...
