Dynamic Peripheral Milling of Flexible Structures

Abstract
A dynamic model for peripheral milling of very flexible plate type structures has been presented. The structural dynamics of a cantilevered plate structure is modelled at the tool-workpiece contact zone. The interaction of the very flexible plate structure and rigid end mill during dynamic milling is modelled. The variation in surface, chip thickness, and structural dynamics of the plate are considered in determining the milling forces. The proposed model provides surface finish form errors displacements at the tool-workpiece contact zone, and cutting forces for dynamic end milling operations.
