The finite element modeling allows manufacturers to reduce the cost of machining operations. During a drilling operation, the chips morphology their sizes and thicknesses have a great effect on the process, whatever the material to be machined. One approach to a 3D simulation of a drilling process with the finite element program Abaqus/Explicit is displayed. We studied the morphology of chips during the drilling process, the influence of cutting parameters on their shape, size and clear velocity. This study allows us to optimize the conditions and cutting parameters for a smooth process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
