This paper investigates Atkins' idea that the modelling of metal cutting must include the
significant work involved in the formation of new surfaces as well as the traditional …

The assumption that negligible work is involved in the formation of new surfaces in the
machining of ductile metals, is re-examined in the light of both current Finite Element Method …

Part 1 of this two-part paper presents a novel approach to the characterization of the
resistance of workpiece material to cutting. It is shown that the strain at fracture is the most …

Everyday practice of cutting process planning requires reliable cutting force estimates, which
currently can be obtained only from process-dependent machinability databases. The …

A review is given of the mechanics of cutting, ranging from the slicing of thin floppy offcuts
(where there is negligible elasticity and no permanent deformation of the offcut) to the …

Metal cutting, or simply machining, is one of the oldest processes for shaping components in
the manufacturing industry. It is widely quoted that 15% of the value of all mechanical …

IN PRACTICE, three dimensions are usually needed to specify the geometry of the tool
cutting edge relative to the direction of cutting, and the geometry of chip formation (metal …

Metal Cutting Mechanics outlines the fundamentals of metal cutting analysis, reducing the
extent of empirical approaches to the problems as well as bridging the gap between design …

The purpose of this study is to introduce the first approach of metal cutting analysis. A
Lagrangian based analysis is carried out using the LS-DYNA software. Simulated cutting …

This chapter presents a short analysis of the basics of traditional metal cutting mechanics,
outlining its components and the basics of finite element modelling (FEM) of the metal …
