This paper examines the plane strain 2D Finite Element (FE) modeling of segmented, as well as continuous chip formation while machining AISI 4340 with a negative rake carbide tool. The main objective is to simulate both the continuous and segmented chips from the same FE model based on FE code ABAQUS/Explicit. Both the adiabatic and coupled temperature displacement analysis has been performed to simulate the right kind of chip formation. It is observed that adiabatic hypothesis plays a critical role in the simulation of segmented chip formation based on adiabatic shearing. The numerical results dealing with distribution of stress, strain and temperature for segmented and continuous chip formations were compared and found to vary considerably from each other. The simulation results were also compared with other published results; thus validating the developed model.

A ductile failure law and an energy-based failure criterion have been implemented in a 2D finite-element (FE) model to simulate the segmented chip formation process in titanium alloy (Ti–6Al–4V) machining. The variations of stress and strain are taken into account in defining the material failure criterion. The cutting forces and chip morphology calculated by FE model are compared with experimental results in good agreement, validating the FE model. Stresses, strains, cutting temperatures, and stiffness degradation along adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) are analysed during the segment formation process to investigate the segment formation mechanism. It is found that the variation trend of strains is the same as that of temperatures, in addition, the variation of strains and their changing-rate lag slightly behind those of temperatures. These observations provide a new evidence of thermoplastic instability along ASB and increase the understanding of segmented chip formation mechanism. Furthermore, simulation results show that ASB morphology and its forming mechanism are mainly caused by thermoplastic instability in primary deformation zone and friction characteristic in the second deformation zone.

The objective of this research is to illustrate the importance of modeling the right/similar chip formation with experimental results. When machining ‘difficult to cut’ materials at high cutting speeds, segmented chips are usually formed. When modeling the cutting process, it is important to consider the type of chip formed, as this affects the stress field generated in the workpiece. The modeled chips have to be the same type as those obtained during experimental work. However very few published models were capable of modeling the 3D oblique cutting with segmented chip formation. This paper presents a finite element model that includes a user customized catastrophic slip criterion and crack propagation module to model segmented chip formation in orthogonal & oblique machining of hardened AISI 4340 steel (52±2 HRC). Predicted cutting forces and chip thickness for segmented chips were in close agreement with experimental data. The modeled plastic strain and temperature distribution/magnitude were very different for continuous and segmented chip formation.

The aim of this animal study was to develop a model of orthodontic tooth movement using a microimplant as a TSAD in rodents. A finite element model of the TSAD in alveolar bone was built usingμCT images of rat maxilla to determine the von Mises stresses and displacement in the alveolar bone surrounding the TSAD. Forin vivovalidation of the FE model, Sprague-Dawley rats (n=25) were used and a Stryker 1.2 × 3 mm microimplant was inserted in the right maxilla and used to protract the right first permanent molar using a NiTi closed coil spring. Tooth movement measurements were taken at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks. At 8 weeks, animals were euthanized and tissues were analyzed by histology and EPMA. FE modeling showed maximum von Mises stress of 45 Mpa near the apex of TSAD but the average von Mises stress was under 25 Mpa. Appreciable tooth movement of 0.62 ± 0.04 mm at 4 weeks and 1.99 ± 0.14 mm at 8 weeks was obtained. Histological and EPMA results demonstrated no active bone remodeling around the TSAD at 8 weeks depicting good secondary stability. This study provided evidence that protracted tooth movement is achieved in small animals using TSADs.

Titanium alloys are desirable materials for aerospace industry because of their excellent combination of high specific strength, lightweight, fracture resistant characteristics, and general corrosion resistance. Therefore, the chip morphology is very important in the study of machinability of metals as well as the study of cutting tool wear. The chips are generally classified into four groups: continuous chips, chips with built-up-edges (BUE), discontinuous chips and serrated chips. . The chip morphology and segmentation play a predominant role in determining machinability and tool wear during the machining process. The mechanics of segmented chip formation during orthogonal cutting of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V are studied in detail with the aid of high-speed imaging of the chip formation zone. The finite element model of chip formation of Ti–6Al–4V is suggested as a discontinuous type chip at lower cutting speeds developing into a continuous, but segmented, chip at higher cutting speeds. The prediction by using finite-element modeling method and simulation process in machining while create chips formation can contribute in reducing the cost of manufacturing in terms of prolongs the cutting tool life and machining time saving.

This paper examines the interaction interface between the implant and the bone for an intramedullary femoral nailing system using a finite element (FE) model and specifically considers the hypothesis that the local geometry at the interface is significant to the resulting localized contact stress between the medial and lateral aspect of nail and endosteum. Contact mechanics algorithms are used in the FE modelling technique that can be developed to deal with any form of intramedullary device for which contact at the bone—implant interface is important. Global stiffness data from the FE model are compared with available data from an experiment carried out on a construct of the bone and the device that uses intramedullary femoral nails. Acceptable agreement is obtained. The results demonstrate that the mechanical interface between the implant and the bone is significantly affected by the gap geometry and magnitude. In particular, larger gaps lead to greater concentrations of stress on the medial side, while the distribution of stress is more uniform at the lateral contacts. Furthermore, the results show that the gap can have a marked effect on the stresses that occur on the fracture plane.

This study is focused on experimental evaluation and numerical modeling of micromilling of hardened H13 tool steels. Multiple tool wear tests are performed in a microside cutting condition with 100 μm diameter endmills. The machined surface integrity, part dimension control, size effect, and tool wear progression in micromachining of hardened tool steels are experimentally investigated. A strain gradient plasticity model is developed for micromachining of hardened H13 tool steel. Novel 2D finite element (FE) models are developed in software ABAQUS to simulate the continuous chip formation with varying chip thickness in complete micromilling cycles under two configurations: microslotting and microside cutting. The steady-state cutting temperature is investigated by a heat transfer analysis of multi micromilling cycles. The FE model with the material strain gradient plasticity is validated by comparing the model predictions of the specific cutting forces with the measured data. The FE model results are discussed in chip formation, stress, temperature, and velocity fields to great details. It is shown that the developed FE model is capable of modeling a continuous chip formation in a complete micromilling cycle, including the size effect. It is also shown that the built-up edge in micromachining can be predicted with the FE model.
