Vibration Analysis of Radial Drilling Machine Structure Using Finite Element Method
Manufacturing industries now a days have stringent expectation from the machine tools in terms of productivity as well as quality of products.Vibration plays an important role in determining the quality of product.If the pattern of vibration prevailing in the machine tool during cutting is known,then machine tool structure can be designed in such a way so that natural frequency of machine tool structure can be isolated from the forced frequency.So, this study is focused on finding the natural frequency and mode shapes of radial drilling machine structure.Finite element analysis has been done to find out the natural frequencies and mode shapes of radial drilling machine structure.Assembled mass and stiffness matrices are obtained for each element and solved by using inverse iteration technique.
