High-speed machine tools have parts with both stationary and rotating dynamics. While spindle housing, column, and table have stationary dynamics, rotating parts may have both symmetric (i.e., spindle shaft and tool holder) and asymmetric dynamics (i.e., two-fluted end mill) due to uneven geometry in two principal directions. This paper presents a stability model of dynamic milling operations with combined stationary and rotating dynamics. The stationary modes are superposed to two orthogonal directions in rotating frame by considering the time-and speed-dependent, periodic dynamic milling system. The stability of the system is solved in both frequency and semidiscrete time domain. It is shown that the stability pockets differ significantly when the rotating dynamics of the asymmetric tools are considered. The proposed stability model has been experimentally validated in high-speed milling of an aluminum alloy with a two-fluted, asymmetric helical end mill.

Prediction of workpiece dynamics and its effects on chatter stability in milling
Budak, Erhan; Alan, Salih; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2012-01-01)
The workpiece dynamics affect stability in machining of flexible parts. However, it is not a straightforward task to include it in the analysis since the workpiece dynamics continuously change due to mass removal and variation of the cutter contact. In this paper, a methodology for prediction of inprocess workpiece dynamics is presented, which is based on a structural dynamic modification using the FE model of the workpiece. The cutter location (CL) file is used to determine the removed elements at each too...
Design optimization of tool extension components in machine tool assemblies based on the absorber effect between subcomponent modes
Tola, Hatice Elif; Özşahin, Orkun; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-9)
Regenerative vibrations, called chatter, are a major problem limits productivity due to poor surface finish, low material removal rates and decrease in life of machine tool and equipment. Stability lobe diagrams are graphs that give a stable cutting limit at a given spindle speed, developed by the researchers as a chatter prevention tool. Various methods have been investigated to increase the critical cutting limit and suppress the most flexible mode in the machine tool frequency response function(FRF). Tun...
Design and realization of a step motor driver with micro-stepping capability
Ateş, Emel Hizal; Hızal, Mirzahan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
Step motors are motion control mechanisms that convert digital pulses into mechanical shaft rotation. They provide high precision positioning and repeatability of movement without a closed loop control, which is preferable for industrial applications in which accurate positioning control is needed. In this thesis, design and realization of a step motor driver will be performed using micro-stepping, which is based on controlling the current of each winding of the motor continuously and solves noise and reson...
DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF GEARED ROTORS BY FINITE-ELEMENTS
KAHRAMAN, A; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; HOUSER, DR; ZAKRAJSEK, JJ (1992-09-01)
A finite element model of a geared rotor system on flexible bearings has been developed. The model includes the rotary inertia of shaft elements, the axial loading on shafts, flexibility and damping of bearings, material damping of shafts and the stiffness and the damping of gear mesh. The coupling between the torsional and transverse vibrations of gears were considered in the model. A constant mesh stiffness was assumed. The analysis procedure can be used for forced vibration analysis of geared rotors by c...

Elastic and plastic limit angular velocities are calculated for rotating disks of variable thickness in power function form. Analytical solution is obtained and used to calculate elastic limit angular velocities of variable thickness rotating annular disks and annular disks with rigid inclusion. An efficient numerical solution procedure is designed and used to obtain the elastic limit angular velocities of variable thickness rotating solid disks. Von Mises yield criterion and its flow rule is used to estima...
