Three-dimensional cutting process of single grain in the shape of polygonal pyramid was simulated by coupled Euler-Lagrange method. The method makes the workpiece material free from its meshes. The material allowance can be removed without mesh separation criterion. The simulation results show that workpiece material flows to the side and front owing to the pressing of cutting plane. Chip flows out along the front of the grain upward. The deformation of workpiece material contacted with grain edge is very severe. Therefore there is large machining stress concentration at the contact zone of grain edge. It results in biggish residual stress and cutting temperature at the side and bottom of the groove. The contact stress at edge angle of abrasive grain is biggest. Therefore grain wear is severe in the position

A method of damage detection and fault diagnosis for gears is presented based on the theory of elastomeric dynamics according to the theory of cracked beam. It takes an advantage of accurate fault diagnosis of gear body using the change of dynamic features and has some advantages for dynamic design of gear systems.The dynamics characteristics, i.e., natural frequency, vibration shape,dynamic response and so on, due to crack of gear tooth are studied, and the gear dynamics characteristics caused by the position and size of crack are deeply investigated by comparison with FEM. The theoretical analysis results are contrasted with numerical simulation results and shows good agreement with the result by FEM. The proposed method can be used to detect damage and diagnose fault for gear structures and also can be applied to designing dynamic characteristics for gear systems.

Several authors have previously simulated chip formation and their behaviour at the orthogonal cutting process. In contrast the chip formation for grinding was less investigated. This paper introduces a quick-stop device which allows easy investigation of the chip formation for the grinding process. For this process a workpiece forced by compressed air is shot against a single grain diamond with a large negative rake angle. Cutting forces were measured with a piezo electric sensor and discussed for a cutting speed range from 10m/s up to 30m/s. In Abaqus/Explicit a lagrangian formulation based finite element model was built to describe the chip formation for the grinding process. Chip formation, stress and heat distribution in the workpiece material can be calculated by this simulation model. The material behaviour was described with the Johnson Cook law. The simulation results show a good correlation compared to the quick stop experiments. All in all this simulation leads to a better understanding of the chip formation during grinding.

Based on large deformation theory and virtual work principle, a coupled three-dimensional (3D) thermo-elastic-plastic finite element model (FEM) was constructed to simulate the high speed cutting process of Al7050-T7451. The mechanical properties of workpiece material under conditions of high temperature and high strain rate were defined in the model. A shear friction model was involved at the interfaces of tool-chip, tool-workpiece. Based on the model, different 3D machining FEM with different inclination angles were established, and distributions of stress, strain and temperature were achieved. Further more, the effects of inclination angle on the chip curling direction, chip flow angle, cutting force and cutting temperature were studied.

Grinding of metals is a complex material removal operation. Research on cutting process of a single abrasive grain is the basis of further understanding of grinding mechanism. In this investigation, the simulation and analysis for the non-uniform thermo-mechanical coupling intense stress fields in cutting zones of a single abrasive with negative rake are conducted by means of the FEM techniques. The cutting forces, the cutting temperature distribution and the strain rate in cutting zone are numerically demonstrated. Grinding mechanics are analyzed from microscopic view according to the simulation results. Research results facilitate a better understanding on the mechanics of grinding.

Dieser Beitrag stellt die numerische Modellierung des CBN-Kornverschleißes beim Einkorneingriff mit der Finite-Elemente-Methode vor. Es wird erstmalig eine dreidimensionale Verschleißsimulation unter Verwendung realer CBN- Korngeometrien im Korn-Werkstückkontakt durchgeführt. Dazu werden drei reale Korngeometrien simuliert, um die Verschleißmechanismen des realen Korneingriffs abzubilden. Abschließend werden die Simulationsergebnisse mit empirischen Untersuchungen verglichen.   This article is about the numerical modeling of CBN grain wear in single grain engagement using the finite element method. A three-dimensional wear simulation using real CBN grain geometries in grain-workpiece contact is conducted for the first time. For this purpose, three real grain geometries are simulated to represent the wear mechanisms of the real grain engagement. Finally, the simulation results are compared with empirical investigations.

In order to improve the guiding accuracy in intercepting the hypersonic vehicle, this article presents a finite-time guidance law based on the observer and head-pursuit theory. First, based on a two-dimensional model between the interceptor and target, this study applies the fast power reaching law to head-pursuit guidance law so that it can alleviate the chattering phenomenon and ensure the convergence speed. Second, target maneuvers are considered as system disturbances, and the head-pursuit guidance law based on an observer is proposed. Furthermore, this method is extended to a three-dimensional case. Finally, comparative simulation results further verify the superiority of the guidance laws designed in this article.

Aero-engine alloys (also as known as superalloys)are known as difficult-to-machine materials, especially at higher cutting speeds, due to their several inherent properties such as low thermal conductivity and their high reactivity with cutting tool materials. In this paper a finite element analysis (FEA) of machining for Incoloy907 is presented. In particular, the thermodynamical constitutitve equation(T-C-E) in FEA is applied for both workpiece material and tool material. Cutting temperature and cutting force are predicted. The comparison between the predicted and experimental cutting temperature and cutting force are presented and discussed. The results indicated that a good prediction accuracy of both principal cutting temperature and cutting force can be achieved by the method of FEA with thermodynamical constitutitve equation.

The spatial evolution of three-dimensional disturbances in an attachment-line boundary layer is computed by direct numerical simulation of the unsteady, incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Disturbances are introduced into the boundary layer by harmonic sources that involve unsteady suction and blowing through the wall. Various harmonic-source generators are implemented on or near the attachment line, and the disturbance evolutions are compared. Previous two-dimensional simulation results and nonparallel theory are compared with the present results. The three-dimensional simulation results for disturbances with quasi-two-dimensional features indicate growth rates of only a few percent larger than pure two-dimensional results; however, the results are close enough to enable the use of the more computationally efficient, two-dimensional approach. However, true three-dimensional disturbances are more likely in practice and are more stable than two-dimensional disturbances. Disturbances generated off (but near) the attachment line spread both away from and toward the attachment line as they evolve. The evolution pattern is comparable to wave packets in flat-plate boundary-layer flows. Suction stabilizes the quasi-two-dimensional attachment-line instabilities, and blowing destabilizes these instabilities; these results qualitatively agree with the theory. Furthermore, suction stabilizes the disturbances that develop off the attachment line. Clearly, disturbances that are generated near the attachment line can supply energy to attachment-line instabilities, but suction can be used to stabilize these instabilities.
