Abstract: A graphical method for the investigation of regenerative machine tool chatter is presented. The method is based on the harmonic response locus of the machine tool structure and allows the ...

Abstract: A mathematical theory of nonlinear chatter is developed. In this, the structure is represented by an equivalent single degree of freedom system with nonlinear stiffness characteristics and the ...

Abstract: Machine tool chatter is essentially a statistical phenomenon. The dynamic characteristics of machine tools as well as the dynamic coefficients of the cutting process are statistical quantities ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior and the cutting performance of a horizontal milling machine, the structure of which was fabricated by bonding, are compared with those of a machine of nominally identical ...
