Speed-varying Machine Tool Dynamics Identification Through Chatter Detection and Receptance Coupling

Abstract Tool-tip Frequency Response Function (FRF) represents one of the essential inputs to predict chatter vibration and compute the Stability Lobe Diagram (SLD). Tool-tip FRFs are generally obtained for the stationary (non-rotating) condition. However, high speeds influence spindle dynamics, leading to a reduced accuracy of the SLD prediction. This paper presents a comprehensive method to identify speed-varying tool-tip FRFs and improve chatter prediction. First, FRFs for a screening tool is identified by a novel technique based on a dedicated experimental test and analytical stability solution. Then, a tailored receptance coupling technique is used to predict speed-varying tool-tip FRFs of any other tool. Proposed method was experimentally validated: chatter prediction accuracy was demonstrated through chatter tests.
