For a generalized helical end mill, this paper presents a frequency domain force model considering the ploughing as well as the shearing mechanisms. The differential chip load and the corresponding cutting forces are first formulated through differential geometry for a general helical cutting edge. The differential cutting force is assumed to be a linear function of the chip load with a proportional shearing force and a constant ploughing force. The total milling force in the angle domain is subsequently composed through convolution integration and analyzed by Fourier analysis. The frequency domain model has the parameters of a general milling process all integrated in a single framework with their roles clearly defined so that Fourier coefficients of the milling force can be obtained for any analytically definable helical cutter. Applications are illustrated for three common helical cutters: the cylindrical, taper, and ball end mills. Furthermore, as an inverse application, a linear algebraic equation is formulated for the identification of six cutting constants from the average forces of two slot milling tests. Demonstration and verification of the milling force model as well as the identification of cutting constants are carried out through experiments with three types of milling cutters.

A parameter equation based on cutting edge of ball-end mill is set up by analyzing the parameters of ball-end mill influence the milling force in virtual NC milling process. The relationship among elemental cutting force, instantaneous radial chip thickness and cutting edge length is analyzed, and the dynamic milling force of ball-end mill at arbitrary feed direction is established. The milling force parameter model by quadratic regression equation in different cutting conditions is built. Through experiments in NC machining center and using orthogonal combination and principal components analysis, the regression coefficients are calculated. The correctness of milling force model is testified by experiments. All these can provide theoretical basis for physics modeling and simulation of virtual numerical control milling.

A milling process adaptive control method, which prevents force overshoots during sudden part geometry changes, has been developed by providing online information to the controller from the part’s CAD representation. A first-order discrete model structure to represent the milling process for adaptive control was analytically developed and experimentally identified. Provided with geometric information obtained from the part’s CAD model, and utilizing the milling force model, the adaptive controller predicts the maximum cutting force expected in advance of dangerous immersion changes. The technique permits the controller to anticipate the changing workpiece in time to eliminate force overshoots which would otherwise break the tool, yet adaptive control at all times remains active to respond to other geometrical and material variations. Simulation and experimental results are presented to confirm the viability of the proposed method.

Micro-milling forces, cutting temperature, and thermal–mechanical coupling are the key research topics about the mechanism of micro-milling nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718. Most current analyses of thermal–mechanical coupling in micro-milling are based on finite element or experimental methods. The simulation is not conducive to revealing the micro-milling mechanism, while the results of experiments are only valid for certain machine tool and workpiece material. Few analytical coupling models of cutting force and cutting temperature during micro-milling process have been proposed. Therefore, the authors studied coupled thermal–mechanical analyses of micro-milling Inconel 718 and presented a revised three-dimensional analytical model of micro-milling forces, which considers the effects of the cutting temperature and the ploughing force caused by the arc of cutting edge during shear-dominant cutting process. Then, an analytical cutting temperature model based on Fourier’s law is presented by regarding the contact area as a moving finite-length heat source. Coupling calculation between micro-milling force model and temperature model through an iterative process is conducted. The novelty is including cutting temperature into micro-milling force model, which simulates the interaction between cutting force and cutting temperature during micro-milling process. The established model predicts both micro-milling force and temperature. Finally, experiments are conducted to verify the accuracy of the proposed analytical method. Based on the coupled thermal–mechanical analyses and experimental results, the authors reveal the effects of cutting parameters on micro-milling forces and temperature.

The milling process is always required to achieve dimensional tolerance for the near-net-shape carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) parts. However, delamination and cracking are inevitably induced in milling CFRP due to the excessive milling forces. The milling forces should be thereby well controlled to reduce damages of CFRP parts. Developing a theoretical milling force model is an effective approach to understand the mechanism of milling force generation. Recent studies have established the predictive models; however, the interlaminar effect impacting the material removal process is not considered during milling multidirectional CFRP laminate, limiting the predictive model accuracy. In this work, a model of dynamic milling force for multidirectional CFRP laminate was developed by considering the interlaminar effect for the first time. The specific cutting energy predicted by the artificial neural network methodology was employed to calculate the milling forces during milling a single CFRP layer. Meantime, the support of the layer was enhanced due to the interlaminar effect, and the correction coefficients for each type of support were proposed to reflect the role of this effect. Then, the overall milling forces for multidirectional CFRP laminate can be obtained via the superposition principle, which agreed well with the experimentally measured results.

In the paper, a static milling force model for variable pitch mills was built, and the milling forces were simulated. The resultant force and its frequency spectra of variable pitch mills were analyzed compared with that of uniform pitch mills. It is shown that the standard deviation (SD) of frequency spectra amplitudes for variable pitch mills is extremely lower than that of uniform pitch mills. Through simulation for SD of frequency spectra amplitudes affected by the different cutting parameters, a pitch angles distribution of variable pitch helix end mills with lower SD of frequency spectra amplitudes was selected.
