Self-excited chatter vibration in machining is one of the most important limitations on utilizing the increasing productivity of modern machine tools. In order to predict stable depth of cuts at high cutting speeds, the stability lobe diagram for a spindle-tool holder-tool combination must be developed. The frequency response function (FRF) of the system must be known for analytical prediction of the stability lobe diagrams. When the flexibility of the workpiece is important, the workpiece itself should be included in the system model by considering the variation of its dynamics at different stages of the machining process. In this thesis, an exact structural modification method is used to find the frequency response functions of the workpiece to be machined at every stage of the machining process. In order to obtain the system matrices and the modal parameters of the original structure, a commercial finite element program MSC. Marc© is used. The frequency response functions of workpiece are calculated by using the computer program developed in this thesis, and are compared with the ones found by MSC. Marc©. The stability lobe diagram of the system is obtained by combining the FRFs of the tool with those of the workpiece. The effects of the dynamic of the workpiece on the stability lobe diagrams are studied extensively by using the results of case studies presented in this thesis. In order to increase productivity, minimum chatter-free machining times are also calculated for different cases. For this purpose the effects of the different radial depth of cuts and different cutting strategies on the stability and the machining time are examined with various case studies.

Cengiz, Ender; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
Five-axis CNC milling machine tools bring great facility to produce complex workpieces with increased dimensional accuracy and better surface quality in shorter machining times. However, kinematics of five-axis machine tools has a complex form which makes it difficult to operate these machine tools properly. The difficulty arises from the complexity of NC-Code generation and tool path verification. Collision of machine tool or setup components with each other is a severe problem in five-axis machining opera...
Vibration fatigue analysis of structures installed on air platforms
Eldoğan, Yusuf; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
Although a component satisfies all operating static requirements, failures can still occur due to vibration induced fatigue. Vibration induced fatigue is a frequent phenomenon, in cases where the natural frequencies of the structures are excited by the loading. Hence, the methods which consider all dynamic characteristic of the structure should be used to obtain accurate fatigue life predictions. These methods in frequency domain are called vibration fatigue methods which give accurate, reliable and fast re...
An investigation on dynamic contact parameters in machining center spindle tool assemblies
Özşahin, Orkun; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
In machining centers, with the increasing trends in high precision machining, chatter has become an important problem which results in poor surface finish and low material removal rate. Chatter can be avoided with stability diagrams which provide the stable regions in the machining process for the depth of cut and spindle speed combinations. In order to obtain stability diagrams, tool point frequency response function (FRF) of the system should be obtained. Throughout this study, contact parameters which ar...

Yıldız, Seyfettin; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
Cooling of electronic equipments has become an important issue as the advances in technology enabled the fabrication of very small devices. The main challenge in cooling is the space limitation. The use of miniature refrigerators seems to be a solution alternative for the cooling problem. The objective of this study is to design and simulate a vapor compression refrigeration cycle for a micro-scale refrigerator. A MATLAB code is developed for the simulations. The four components of the refrigerator, namely,...
