An accurate prediction of cutting forces in the micro end milling, which is affected by many factors, is the basis for increasing the machining productivity and selecting optimal cutting parameters. This paper develops a dynamic cutting force model in the micro end milling taking into account tool vibrations and run-out. The influence of tool run-out is integrated with the trochoidal trajectory of tooth and the size effect of cutting edge radius into the static undeformed chip thickness. Meanwhile, the real-time tool vibrations are obtained from differential motion equations with the measured modal parameters, in which the process damping effect is superposed as feedback on the undeformed chip thickness. The proposed dynamic cutting force model has been experimentally validated in the micro end milling process of the Al6061 workpiece. The tool run-out parameters and cutting forces coefficients can be identified on the basis of the measured cutting forces. Compared with the traditional model without tool vibrations and run-out, the predicted and measured cutting forces in the micro end milling process show closer agreement when considering tool vibrations and run-out.

This paper presents an improved mechanistic cutting force model for the ball-end milling process. The objective is to accurately model the cutting forces for nonhorizontal and cross-feed cutter movements in 3D finishing ball-end milling. Main features of the model include: (1) a robust cut geometry identification method to establish the complicated engaged area on the cutter; (2) a generalized algorithm to determine the undeformed chip thickness for each engaged cutting edge element; and (3) a comprehensive empirical chip-force relationship to characterize nonhorizontal cutting mechanics. Experimental results have shown that the present model gives excellent predictions of cutting forces in 3D ball-end milling.

A developed method to predict the cutting forces in end milling of generalized corners is proposed in this paper. The cornering milling process is divided into a series of cutting segments with different cutting states. The mathematical model of the geometric relationship between cutter and the corner profile is established for each segment. Cutting forces is predicted by introducing the classical cutting force model. The computational results of cutting forces are in good agreement with experimental data.

The micro-end-milling process of aluminum alloy Al2024-T6 has been investigated by numerical simulations and experimental approach. The effects of different tool edge radii on the micro-cutter wear were investigated. A three-dimensional finite element model is adopted to determine the effects of tool edge radii on the effective stress and micro-cutter wear during the micro-end-milling process. It is observed that the the tool nose wears out much more quickly due to the high maximal effective stress occurring in this zone. The experimental verification of the simulation model is carried out on a micro-end-milling process of aluminum alloy 2024-T6. The experimental results of the micro-cutter morphologies are in a good agreement with the simulation results. The experimental results show that the model is suitable for studying the mechanism of micro-cutter wear.

In this paper, mechanistic and finite element modeling of meso/micro end milling process with predictions of forces, stresses and temperature distributions in the presence of tool edge ploughing are presented. The finite element modeling of micro end milling without considering tool-workpiece dynamics interaction is introduced to study the effects of cutting conditions on the workpiece deformations in meso/micro end milling. Model is tested and validated for temperature and force predictions in meso/micro end milling of AL 2024-T6 aluminum.

A hierarchical optimal controller is developed to regulate the cutting force and tool position, simultaneously, in a micro end milling process. The process is divided into two levels of decision making. The bottom level includes the measurable states, which in this work comprise the servomechanism positions. The top level includes the higher order objectives which can be derived from the bottom level objectives by an aggregation relationship. In this work the top level objective is concerned with cutting force regulation. The aggregation relations are linearized to fit into a linear optimal control problem to reduce the computational efforts. Reference velocity is calculated based on the force model, using the desired depth-of-cut and spindle speed. The proposed method is compared to a normal optimal controller without considering the top level objectives. Comparison between the two methods reveals the advantages of considering the top level objectives.
