Abstract

This paper investigates the passive control of chatter instability in turning processes using a vibro-impact nonlinear energy sink (NES). The workpiece is assumed to be rigid and the tool is flexible. A dynamical model including a nonlinear cutting law is presented and the stability lobes diagram is obtained. The behavior of the system with the vibro-impact NES is investigated using an asymptotic analysis. A control mechanism by successive beating is revealed, similarly to the strongly modulated response in the case of NES with cubic stiffness. It is shown that such a response regime may be beneficial for chatter mitigation. An original experimental procedure is proposed to verify the sizing of the vibro-impact NES. An experimental setup is developed with a vibro-impact NES embedded on the lathe tool and the results are analyzed and validated.
