A 2D Computer Model of Cutting of the A2024 Aluminum Alloy

Abstract

Machining can have a significant effect on the properties of machined parts of different equipment during their production. This paper is on the effect of vertical angle and cutting speed on temperature and stress. Using computer modeling values of these parameters were identified. Using the least squares method and a factorial computer experiment the dependence of peak values of temperature and stress is shown.

Constructive Assessment of an Attainable Accuracy at Large-Size Thin-Walled Housing Rings Machining by Modelling of Cutting Force Effect

“…Modeling of the forces acting during machining was carried out in the Solidworks Simulation system using the finite element method (FEM). The main idea of the FEM is that any continuous value (in our case, displacement) can be approximated by a discrete model, which is built on the set of piecewise continuous functions defined on a finite number of elements [5]. As the point of application of the load, the very nonrigid part of the part was chosen, namely, the upper point of the thin wall of the ring, which is subject to maximum displacements during machining [6].…”
