Abstract

An analytical study of a vibrating bandsaw blade is presented. The blade is modeled as a plate translating over simply-supporting guides. Gyroscopic effects due to the blade’s axial motion as well as in-plane forces resulting from tensioning and the influence of the cutting force are included in the model. The latter is modeled as a nonconservative follower force on the cutting edge of the blade and shown to be destabilizing. A state-space model is developed which includes the effects of time-varying cutting forces and exogenous disturbances. Feedback control via a collocated force actuator/rate sensor is introduced and recent advances in robust control theory are used develop controllers which achieve robust stability and performance with respect to the time-varying model.
