Elastomer end-milling is attracting attention for its role in the small-lot production of elastomeric parts. In order to apply end-milling to the production of elastomeric parts, it is important that the workpiece be held stably to avoid deformation. To evaluate the stability of workholding, it is necessary to predict cutting forces in elastomer end-milling. Cutting force prediction for metal workpiece end-milling has been investigated for many years, and many process models for end-milling have been proposed. However, the applicability of these models to elastomer end-milling has not been discussed. In this paper, the characteristics of the cutting force in elastomer end-milling are evaluated experimentally. A standard cutting force model and its parameter identification method are introduced. By using this cutting force model, measured cutting forces are compared against the calculated results. The comparison makes it clear that the standard cutting force model for metal end-milling can be applied to down milling for a rough evaluation.

This paper develops an analytical model to estimate the dynamic responses in end milling, i.e., dynamic milling cutter deflections and cutting forces, by using the finite element method along with an adequate end milling cutting force model. The whole cutting system includes spindle, bearings and cutter. The spindle is structurally modeled with the Timoshenko-beam element, the milling cutter with the pretwisted Timoshenko-beam element due to its special geometry, and the bearings with lumped springs and dampers. Because the damping matrix in the resulting finite element equation of motion for the whole cutting system is not of proportional damping due to the presence of bearing damping, we use state-vector approach and convolution integral to find the solution of equations of motion. To assure the accuracy of dynamic response predication, the associated cutting force model should be sufficiently precise. Since the dynamic cutting force is proportional to the chip thickness, a quite accurate algorithm for the calculation of chip thickness variation due to tool geometry, runout and spindle-tool vibration is developed. A number of dynamic cutting forces and tool deflections obtained from the present model for various cutting conditions are compared with the experimental and analytical results available in the literature, and good agreement is demonstrated for these comparisons. Therefore the present model is useful for the prediction of end milling instability. Also, the tool deflections obtained by using the pretwisted beam element are found smaller than those by straight beam elements without pretwist angle. Hence, neglecting the pretwist angle in the structural model of milling cutter may overestimate the tool deflections.

An improved cutting force model is integrated in the design of a minimum vibration face milling cutter. The cutting force of a blade is approximated by a rectangular pulse whose height is governed by the blade spacing. Specific examples of a special purpose and a general purpose cutter are given and their performances are evaluated.

A new cutting force model of ball-end mill with double effect is developed through analysing the machining process by using differential geometry. The cutting force model is needed to be revised for the component force in Z direction because of the offset to the actual results. The cutting force and the ball-end milling force coefficients can be given with numerical method. A feedrate optimization strategy is also proposed based on the developed cutting force model and tested effectively.

A developed method to predict the cutting forces in end milling of generalized corners is proposed in this paper. The cornering milling process is divided into a series of cutting segments with different cutting states. The mathematical model of the geometric relationship between cutter and the corner profile is established for each segment. Cutting forces is predicted by introducing the classical cutting force model. The computational results of cutting forces are in good agreement with experimental data.

The aim of this paper is to obtain the stability lobes for milling operations with a nonlinear cutting force model. The work is focused on the generation of stability lobes based on a formulation with Chebyshev polynomials and the semidiscretization method, considering a nonlinear cutting force model. Comparisons were conducted between experimental data at 5% radial immersion with aluminum workpiece and predictions based on Chebyshev and semidiscretization. In all cases, the use of nonlinear cutting force model provides better prediction of process stability conditions.
