Research Design and Identification of the Project Methodology Solutions Using the Finite Element Method

Abstract

The anticipation of the process variables (temperature, cutting forces, and stress distribution) plays an important role in the tool geometry design and cutting conditions optimization. The researchers found that the anticipation of these variables experimentally is costly both from a time requirement and financial point of view. Having this information, the finite element model becomes the most favourable alternative and most useful in all aspects. Existing Empirical models are very useful in demonstrating these matters, but if tests have not been carried out to create these models types, then it brings benefits in the improvement specifically to the process itself. This paper is focus to conduct the research and discover a methodical design solution based on the finite element method. This entails defining the input data used within the research framework, including: application type, finite element analysis, material model, and, of course, choosing the process parameters. After determining the input data, following the completion of the theoretical models of the experiment, respecting the finite element model, the output will take into account the final results of the selected research. In order to obtain optimal solutions and to increase the precision and accuracy of the obtained results, it is necessary to validate this using the experiment.
