Imaging techniques have been widely implemented to study the dynamics of chip formation.
They can offer a direct method and a full field measurement of the cutting process, providing …

Understanding the mechanism of chip formation during orthogonal cutting requires a local
measurement of the displacement and strain fields in the cutting zone. These measurements …

Accurate descriptions of workpiece behaviors are indispensable for achieving reliable
simulations of the cutting process. However, the material plastic constitutive models …

The paper deals with the issue of cutting zone and chip compression. The aim was to
analyse the microstructure transverse section of the cutting zone on a metallographic cut …

Titanium alloys, largely used for aeronautical applications, are difficult to machine. High
cutting forces, chip serration and important tool wear reflect this poor machinability, limiting …

The constant industrial need of detail data on the chip formation meets with the lack of a
physical understanding of the thermo-mechanical couplings during hard metal cutting. In the …

Strategies to investigate the primary shear zone in metal cutting are largely based on chip
root examinations. This type of analysis is limited to providing only indirect results, because …

The present paper investigates the thermo-mechanical loading involved in hole drilling of Ti-
6Al-4V. Indeed, the heat and strains developed in a very restricted area at the tool vicinity …

Abstract Finite Element Modelling used to predict machining outcomes needs to be supplied
with the appropriate material thermomechanical properties which are obtained by specific …

An inverse identification of material parameters has the potential to increase the quality of
Finite Element-simulations in metal cutting. Since basic data for the calculations are …
