Abstract

Analysis of cutting forces in machining operation is an important issue. The cutting force changes randomly in milling operation where it makes a signal by plotting over time span. An important type of analysis belongs to the study of how cutting forces change along different axes. Since cutting force has fractal characteristics, in this paper for the first time we analyze the variations of complexity of cutting force signal along different axes using fractal theory. For this purpose, we consider two cutting depths and do milling operation in dry and wet machining conditions. The obtained cutting force time series was analyzed by computing the fractal dimension. The result showed that in both wet and dry machining conditions, the feed force (along [Formula: see text]-axis) has greater fractal dimension than radial force (along [Formula: see text]-axis). In addition, the radial force (along [Formula: see text]-axis) has greater fractal dimension than thrust force (along [Formula: see text]-axis). The method of analysis that was used in this research can be applied to other machining operations to study the variations of fractal structure of cutting force signal along different axes.
