Abstract: This paper presents a detailed mechanistic force analysis that includes size effect for slot milling operations. Existing studies of the milling process have modeled the slot end milling operation ...

Abstract: A cutting-process model addressing the chip removal and edge ploughing mechanisms separately yet simultaneously is presented. The model is developed such that it is readily applicable in an ...

Abstract: The Dual-Mechanism Machining Force Model (DMMFM) developed in Part 1 of this paper is calibrated through a specially developed algorithm, then validated. The calibration results are used to study ...
