Ys. Tarng et Ts. Hwang, AN INVESTIGATION OF THE SPECIFIC CUTTING FORCE AND ITS DIRECTION FACTORS IN TURNING, Computers & structures, 53(4), 1994, pp. 937-945
In cutting dynamics, cutting stability is greatly dependent on the spe
cific cutting force and its directional factors. However, the specific
cutting force and its directional factors may vary with a change of c
utting conditions. In this paper, a predictive machining theory based
on a shear zone model of chip formation is used to predict the specifi
c cutting force and its directional factors under the variation of cut
ting conditions. It is found that a change of cutting speed, feed, and
tool geometries will strongly influence the specific cutting force an
d its directional factors in turning operations.
