ME 5990

Machining Dynamics

Course Overview

 

Prerequisites

Grad. Students — none

Undergrads — ME 4610 is required

Course Description

Stability analysis techniques, stability margins, stability charts and forced vibration analysis for single and multi-dimensional machine-tool dynamics.  Advanced process mechanics modeling as related to process damping and process nonlienarity.  Modeling approximations to account for periodic time variation and process nonlinearities toward realizing industrially applicable results.  Special consideration is given to high-speed, variable-speed, ultrahigh-speed, and parallel-process machining.

Who Should Take This Course

·          Graduate students working in manufacturing processes, especially those working in machining processes.

·          Graduate students in the area of dynamics or vibrations interested in applications of dynamic analysis to real problems.

·          Graduate students interested in working in the machine-tool, cutting tool, or their end-user (automotive, aerospace, etc. manufacturing) industries.

·          Advanced undergraduate students interested in machining processes beyond static performance (covered in ME 4610)

Course Objectives

1.       To teach the basic dynamics of machining processes including effects of multiple teeth, nonlinearities and time variation.

2.       To teach stability analysis for machining based on the delay-differential equation that represents its salient dynamics.

3.       To teach the effects of real/practical tool geometry and structural dynamics, including multi-dimensionality and mode orientation.

4.       To teach the concept of cutting process damping, model forms to account for it, and the conditions under which it becomes noticeable.

5.       To introduce the techniques of variable-speed, ultrahigh-speed and parallel-process machining, motivations for applying them, and their effects on stability.

Course Outcomes

1.       Be able to differentiate between dynamics that are linear and nonlinear, and those that are time invariant and time varying.

2.       Understand sources of mechanical energy and energy transfer within a machining system.

3.       Be able to analyze for machining process dynamic response and stability.

4.       Understand assumptions required for analyses and the resulting limitations.

5.       Be able to diagnose and correct stability and excessive vibration problems through qualitative adjustments in conditions.

6.       Be familiar with and understand the mechanisms unique to variable-speed, high-speed, ultrahigh-speed and parallel-process machining.

7.       Be able to develop a dynamic simulation or analytical solution of a machining process or a mechanism within (project).
