Designing an Experimental Research Using the Finite Element Analysis Method

subject

description

In order to study the impact of cutting parameters on the cutting process, several research methods can be used. The first method generally used to understand the cutting process is the experiment from which clear and precise results are obtained. However, experiments can be very costly and time-consuming. The work piece material can be damaged, the processing centre can be busy and people have to spend a lot of time observing the process and recording the data. The objective of this paper is to design an experimental research using the finite element method. In this respect, an orthogonal cutting pattern will be established using this method. This involves determining the type, the method and technique of FEA application used, the material and the constitutive model of the material to be processed, and of course the selection of the cutting process parameters. Once these data are established and the theoretical models of the experiment are completed, the finite element simulation can be performed. The results obtained by the simulation will be analysed, and, in order to obtain the optimal solutions while at the same time increasing the accuracy of the obtained results, it will be necessary to perform the results validation with the experiment upon completion of the simulations.
