Modelling of orthogonal cutting by incremental elastoplastic analysis and meshless method

Abstract This Note introduces an application of the meshless method to the case of machining simulation in small deformations, which is still subjected to numerical limitations. The treatment of the contact problem at the tool/chip interface is presented, and highlights the interest of the coupling of the contact law with friction. Validation results are detailed through typical example. To cite this article: E. Boudaia et al., C. R. Mecanique 337 (2009).
