Analytical modeling and experimental investigation of ultrasonic-vibration assisted oblique turning, part I: Kinematics analysis

The purpose of the present study is the kinematics, dynamics and experimental investigation of ultrasonic-vibration assisted oblique turning. The results are presented in three parts. In the first part, the kinematics of the relative motion between the cutting tool and the work-piece is concerned. The vibration cutting is an intermittent process and cutting in this process is physically implemented in part of the vibration cycle. The critical cutting speed and the cutting duration in vibration oblique turning are other important kinematics factors which are dealt with in this part. For this purpose, three different models have been developed and examined by different case studies. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
