An Orthogonal Cutting Model Based on Finite Deformation Analysis: Part II — Constitutive Equations and Experimental Verification
Abstract In Part I of this paper, a model based on finite deformation analysis was developed to predict the forces in an orthogonal cutting operation. In the second part of the paper, the constitutive equations for O1 and L6 tool steels are developed using Hopkinson bar tests. A total of 90 statistically designed orthogonal cutting tests are conducted to investigate the cutting mechanics of O1 and L6 tool steels. Then the cutting model developed in Part I of this paper is applied to simulate all the 90 cutting tests using the measured material constitutive equations. All the measurable model outputs are calculated and compared with the corresponding cutting experiment results. The comparisons show that the cutting model based on finite deformation analysis can be successfully applied to predict the cutting forces, shear angle, and various relationships in machining (orthogonal cutting) tests.
