This study is part of the ongoing research at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of
the University of Brescia. A simple orthogonal cutting operation was simulated under …

This paper summarizes the results of an investigation where the FE code DEFORM 2D was
applied to simulate a plane strain cutting process. To perform the simulation with reasonable …

The aim of this study is to compare various simulation models of orthogonal cutting process
with each other as well as with the results of various experiments. Commercial implicit finite …

In metal cutting, unbroken chips may scratch the machined surface and hinder an efficient
chip removal. Despite its relevance, the established methodologies of tool/process design …

This study is part of the ongoing research at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of
the University of Brescia on FEM simulations of cutting operations. In recent years, the …

In this paper, a systematic evaluation of six ductile fracture models is conducted to identify
the most suitable fracture criterion for metal cutting processes. Six fracture models are …

The mechanisms of burr formation and breakout in orthogonal cutting are analyzed. A burr
formation/breakout model for orthogonal cutting is proposed, based on the observation of …

This work focuses on the mechanism of the dead metal zone (DMZ) formation and the effects
of the cutting edge geometries (sharp, chamfered, double chamfered and blunt edges) and …

Even in a fully automated factory, many deburring operations are carried out manually. To
remove or minimize the burr effectively or automatically, understanding of the burr formation …

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 …
