Abstract

The dynamics of a cutting process are very complex in nature. They involve not only the changes of plastic state in the intensive shear zone of the chip formation process but also the elastic behaviour of work material surrounding the plastic deformation zone, especially in the vicinity of the tool nose region. As an extension to the previous developments in formulating the shear angle oscillation in dynamic cutting (D. W. Wu, Development of dynamic shear angle model for wave-generating processes based on work-hardening slip-line field theory. Int. J. Mech. Sci. 29, 407–424, 1987; D. W. Wu, Governing equations of the shear angle oscillation in dynamic orthogonal cutting. Trans. ASME J. of Engng for Indust. 108, 280, 1986), a comprehensive dynamic cutting force model has been developed from the mechanics of the cutting process by taking into account the equilibrium of forces in the primary and secondary plastic deformation zones and the redistribution of the contact stress inside the workpiece in the vicinity of the tool nose region. The model has been tested through a computer simulation for orthogonal wave-generating processes. By reference to existing experimental evidence, the theoretical predictions show generally good agreement with the test results.
