    Development of a stability prediction tool for the identification of stable milling processes
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Hömberg, Dietmar; Uhlmann, Eckart; Rott, Oliver; Rasper, Patrick
    This paper deals with a new mathematical model to characterise the interaction between machine and work piece in a milling process. The model consists of a multi-body system representing the milling machine and a linear thermo-elastic work piece model. An extensive experimental analysis supported the development of the governing model equations. A numerical solution strategy is outlined and complemented by simulations of stable and unstable milling processes including work piece effects. The last part covers the development of a new algorithm for the stability analysis of large milling systems.

    A milling model with thermal effects including the dynamics of machine and work piece
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Rott, Oliver; Rasper, Patrick; Hömberg, Dietmar; Uhlmann, Eckart
    This paper deals with the development of a new mathematical model that characterizes the structure-process interaction for a complex milling system. The structure is divided into a work piece and a machine part, which are represented by different models. While the machine dynamics is characterized by a standard multi-body system, the work piece is described as a linear thermo-elastic continuum. The coupling of both parts is carried out by an empirical process model permitting an estimate of heat and coupling forces occurring during milling. This work reports the derivation of the governing equations emphasizing the coupling and summarizes the numerical algorithms being applied to solve the coupled equation system. The results of numerical simulations that show the dynamics of the complex thermo-mechanical system are presented at the end.
