The stability charts of high-speed milling are constructed. New unstable regions and vibration frequencies are identified. These are related to flip bifurcation, i.e. period doubling vibrations occur apart of the conventional self-excited vibrations well-known for turning or low-speed milling with multiple active teeth. The Semi-Discretization method is applied for the delayed parametric excitation model of milling providing the connection of the two existing and experimentally verified results of machine tool chatter research. The two extreme models in question, that is, the traditional autonomous delayed model of time-independent turning, and the recently introduced discrete map model of time-dependent highly interrupted machining, are both involved as special cases in the universal approach presented in this study.

Abstract The stability charts of high-speed milling are constructed. Non-conventional unstable regions and vibration frequencies are identified. These are related to flip bifurcation, i.e. period doubling vibrations occur apart of the conventional self-excited vibrations typical for turning or low-speed milling with multiple active teeth. A new stability criterion is proposed and applied for the delayed parametric excitation model of milling.

High-speed milling is often modeled as a kind of highly interrupted machining, when the ratio of time spent cutting to not cutting can be considered as a small parameter. In these cases, the classical regenerative vibration model, playing an essential role in machine tool vibrations, breaks down to a simplified discrete mathematical model. The linear analysis of this discrete model leads to the recognition of the doubling of the so-called instability lobes in the stability charts of the machining parameters. This kind of lobe-doubling is related to the appearance of period doubling vibrations originated in a flip bifurcation. This is a new phenomenon occurring primarily in low-immersion high-speed milling along with the Neimark-Sacker bifurcations related to the classical self-excited vibrations or Hopf bifurcations. The present work investigates the nonlinear vibrations in the case of period doubling and compares this to the well-known subcritical nature of the Hopf bifurcations in turning processes. The identification of the global attractor in the case of unstable cutting leads to contradiction between experiments and theory. This contradiction draws the attention to the limitations of the small parameter approach related to the highly interrupted cutting condition.

In this paper a new method for the stability analysis of high-speed milling processes is introduced. The approach is based on the construction of a characteristic function whose complex roots determine the stability of the system. By using the argument principle, the number of roots causing instability can be counted, and thus, an exact stability chart can be drawn. In the special case of period doubling bifurcation, the corresponding multiplier −1 is substituted into the characteristic function leading to an implicit formula of the stability boundaries. Further investigations show that all the period doubling boundaries are closed curves, except the first lobe at the highest cutting speeds. Together with the stability boundaries of Neimark-Sacker (or secondary Hopf) bifurcations, the unstable parameter domains are formed from the union of lobes and lenses.

High-speed milling operations are often limited by regenerative vibrations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of spindle speed variation on machine tool chatter in high-speed milling. The stability analysis of triangular and sinusoidal shape variations is made numerically with the semi-discretization method. Parametric studies show also the influence of the frequency and amplitude variation parameters. This modeling is validated experimentally by variable spindle speed cutting tests with a triangular shape. Stable and unstable tests are analyzed in term of amplitude vibration and surface roughness degradation. This work reveals that stability must be considered at period variation scale. It is also shown that spindle speed variation can be efficiently used to suppress chatter in the flip lobe area.

Thin-walled structure is easy to vibrate in machining. The dynamic milling model of thin-walled workpiece is analyzed based on the analysis of degrees in two perpendicular directions of machine tool-workpiece system. In high speed milling of 2A12 aluminum alloy, the compensation method based on the modification of inertia effect is proposed and accurate cutting force coefficients are obtained. The machining system is divided into “spindle-cutter” and “workpiece-fixture” two sub-systems and the modal parameters of two sub-systems are acquired via modal analysis experiments. Finally, the stability lobes for high speed milling of 2A12 thin-walled workpiece are obtained by the use of these parameters. The results are verified against cutting tests.

We explore a discrete Kaldorian macrodynamic model of an open economy with flexible exchange rates, focusing on the effects of variation of the model parameters, the speed of adjustment of the goods marketα, and the degree of capital mobilityβ. We determine by a numerical grid search method the stability region in parameter space and find that flexible rates cause enhanced stability of equilibrium with respect to variations of the parameters. We identify the Hopf-Neimark bifurcation curve and the flip bifurcation curve, and find that the period doubling cascades which leads to chaos is the dominant behavior of the system outside the stability region, persisting to large values ofβ. Cyclical behavior of noticeable presence is detected for some extreme values of a state parameter. Bifurcation and Lyapunov exponent diagrams are computed illustrating the complex dynamics involved. Examples of attractors and trajectories are presented. The effect of the speed of adaptation of the expected rate is also briefly discussed. Finally, we explore a special model variation incorporating the “wealth effect” which is found to behave similarly to the basic model, contrary to the model of fixed exchange rates in which incorporation of this effect causes an entirely different behavior.

In this paper, a 3D dynamic model for the prediction of the stability lobes of high speed milling is presented, considering the combined flexibility of both tool and workpiece. The main aim is to avoid chatter vibrations on the finish milling of aeronautical parts, which include thin walls and thin floors. In this way the use of complex fixtures is eliminated. Hence, an accurate selection of both axial depth of cut and spindle speed can be accomplished. The model has been validated by means of a test device that simulates the behaviour of a thin floor.
