Investigation on the Energy Model with Finite Element Method in High Speed Cutting

This work focused on the energy model of the machining which can be used to predict the energy variation with finite element method. The energy model is validated with the finite element method using the finite element software ABAQUS. The distributions of the stress, strain and temperature as well as the chip morphology are all simulated vividly when cutting stably. It can be found that the variation of energy corresponds to the chip formation and is correlated to distributions of stress and temperature. This study can provide a reference to study the vibration in the high speed machining and optimization of the tool design.
