Finite-element analysis and simulation of machining: a bibliography (1976-1996)

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite-element methods (FE Ms) applied to the analysis and simulation of machining. The bibliography a t the end of the paper contains references to papers, conference proceeding s and theses/dissertations on the subject that were published in 1976-1996. The following topics are included: material removal and cutting processes in general, computational models for specific machining processes, effects of geometric and process parameters, thermal aspects in machining, residual stresses in machining, dynamic analysis and control of machine tools, tool wear and failure, chip formation mechanism, and optimization and other top ics, respectively.
