Though a lot of research works have been done, some key technologies of finite element simulation have not been resolved completely. A detailed finite element model of high speed orthogonal cutting of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is developed. Several mechanics models of cutting process, such as material constitutive model, chip separation model and chip damage model, are implemented to improve finite element simulation accuracy. The chip shape and cutting force agree well with experimental results, which show the finite element model developed in this study is reasonable. Using this finite element model, chip formation process of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is simulated. Results indicate that the material between the shear bands is only weakly deformed, and the deformation is stronger on the tool side of the chip. This work will be a base for process parameter optimization, tool’s optimization selection and design during high speed cutting of difficult-to-cut titanium alloy.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Background: Finite element simulation has become an important method for the mechanism research of metal machining in recent years. Objective: To study the cutting mechanism of hardened 45 steel (45HRC), and improve the processing efficiency and quality. Methods: A 3D oblique finite element model of traditional turning of hardened 45 steel based on ABAQUS was established in this paper. The feasibility of the finite element model was verified by experiment, and the influence of cutting parameters on cutting force was predicted by single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment based on simulation. Finally, the empirical formula of cutting force was fitted by MATLAB. Besides, a lot of patents on 3D finite element simulation for metal machining were studied. Results: The results show that the 3D oblique finite element model can predict three direction cutting force, the 3D chip shape, and other variables of metal machining and the prediction errors of three direction cutting force are 5%, 9.02%, and 8.56%. The results of single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment are in good agreement with similar research, which shows that the model can meet the needs for engineering application. Besides, the empirical formula and the prediction results of cutting force are helpful for the parameters optimization and tool design. Conclusion: A 3D oblique finite element model of traditional turning of hardened 45 steel is established, based on ABAQUS, and the validation is carried out by comparing with experiment.

Yielding tests of VTI-4 alloy specimens have been carried out at temperature 1010 °C under conditions of high-speed loading. Based on the test results the modulus of elasticity as well as axial and radial residual deformation values in the end and central zones for each loading stage were determined. Fitting criteria for finite element simulation and the experiment are proposed with tracing VTI-4 alloy diagram deformation at temperature 1010 °C and strain rate of 2.5 sec–1. As a result of finite element simulation the relationship between the material structures obtained during high-speed yielding and the deflected modes in different zones was determined.

Background:: Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (PRMMCs) are widely used because of the higher specific strength, better dimensional stability, lower thermal expansion coefficient, better wear and corrosion resistance. However, the existence of reinforcing particles makes it hard to machine. The main manifestations are as follows: severe tool wear, easy generation of debris tumors in processing, and many defects on the machined surface, etc. These seriously limit its wider application. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has been widely applied in the research of PRMMCs machining according to recent patents, which can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of research. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a deep research for the processing technology of PRMMCs. Methods:: In this paper, the latest research progress of finite element simulation of cutting PRMMCs was summarized. The key technologies of finite element simulation, including constitutive model, geometric model, friction model between chip and tool, fracture criterion and mesh generation, are comprehensively analyzed and summarized. The application in the specific processing methods was discussed, such as turning, milling, grinding, ultrasonic vibration grinding and drilling. The existing problems and development direction of the simulation of PRMMCs cutting are also given. Besides, a lot of patents on finite element simulation for PRMMCs machining were studied. Results:: Finite element model for the actual composition determines the accuracy of finite element simulation. Through the secondary development of finite element software, a more realistic finite element model of Particle reinforced metal matrix composites can be established. Conclusion:: Finite Element Method (FEM) provides a new approach for the study of mechanism of Particle reinforced metal matrix composites machining. Quantitative analysis and prediction of micro- details in cutting can be realized.

During high-speed machining, the vibration will result in poor workpiece surface and damage the cutting tool as well as the machine tool. It will limit the productivity and lower the quality of thin-wall titanium alloy components. Moreover, vibration occurrence is strongly affected by the dynamic response of the whole system, particularly the stiffness of workpiece-fixture system. Improper fixture layout is prone to generate vibration, especially for the flexible workpiece. Hence, it’s necessary to suppress the vibration and improve the fixture design. In this work, a finite element model of the workpiece-fixture system is built. Based on this model, the laws of the natural frequency and vibration modals under different fixturing methods are obtained, which can be used to refine fixture design. With several additional auxiliary supports, the stiffness of the workpiece-fixture system is improved and the result showed that, the natural frequencies of thin-wall titanium alloy components can be improved to a level which is too high to be reached by tool’s excitation. The result of this study is helpful to design the optimum fixture scheme of thin-wall titanium alloy components.

In numerical approaches for high speed machining, the rheological behavior of machined materials is usually described by a Johnson Cook law. However, studies have shown that dynamic recrystallization phenomena appear during machining in the tool/chip interface. The Johnson Cook constitutive law does not include such phenomena. Thus, specific rheological models based on metallurgy are introduced to consider these dynamic recrystallization phenomena. Two empirical models proposed by Kim et al. (2003) and Lurdos (2008) are investigated in machining modeling. A two-dimensional finite element model of orthogonal cutting, using an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation, is developed with the Abaqus/explicit software. Specific rheological models are implemented in the calculation code thanks to a subroutine. This finite element model can then predict chip formation, interfacial temperatures, chip-tool contact length, cutting forces and chip thickness with also and especially the recrystallized area. New specific experiments on an orthogonal cutting test bench are conducted on AISI 1045 steel specimens with an uncoated carbide tool. Many tests are performed and results are focused on total chip thicknesses and recrystallized chip thicknesses. Finally, compared to numerical results got with a Johnson Cook law, numerical results obtained using specific rheological models to take into account dynamic recrystallization phenomena are very close to experimental results. This work shows also the influence of rheological behavior laws on predicted results in the modeling of high speed modeling.
