Abstract

The stability of a transverse cylindrical grinding process is investigated in this paper. The workpiece is considered as a rotating damped hinged-hinged Euler-Bernoulli beam and the grinding wheel a rotating damped spring mass system moving along the workpiece. Called regenerative force, the contact force between the workpiece and the wheel is a functional equation related to both the current and previous relative positions between the workpiece and the wheel since the regeneration exists on the surfaces of both the workpiece and the wheel. The two distinct time delays presented in the regenerative force model are inversely proportional to the rotation speeds of the workpiece and the wheel respectively. For grinding stability analysis, the regenerative effects are considered as the key factors in inducing chatter vibrations in the grinding process. The grinding stability is numerically analyzed since two distinct delays being involved in the model makes the analytical analysis extremely difficult. Finally, the grinding stability analysis is verified by numerical simulation.
