Chatter Stability Modeling and Simulation for Long Slender Shaft Turning Operation

Dynamic vibration and static deformation are two main factors that affect the machining quality in a long slender shaft turning operation. By simplifying the turning system of a slender shaft into a one-section beam with a clamped-pinned constraint condition, the direct receptance at any arbitrary cutting point is derived. On the basis, the regenerative stability lobes diagram (SLD) for a long slender shaft turing operation is achieved. With the proposed modeling methodology and simulation algorithm, the effect of cutting position on the direct frequency response function (FRF) and the predicated SLD, as well as the effect of the cutting conditions on the predicated SLD are investigated. The predicated direct FRF at the cutting point is validated by hammer tests.
