Finite Element Simulation Study of Cutting Process for Large Thin-Wall Part of Aluminum Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

A finite element simulation study of cutting process and whole part deformation of a large thin-wall aluminum alloy part used in aerospace is carried out by ABAQUS. The geometry model, material model and heat conduction model are built. The friction conditions and boundary constraints are determined. The whole process of chip generation is simulated and the distribution of strain, stress, cutting temperature and are given. The chip formation and the cutting force are also predicted. Based on the prediction results, the deformation of whole part is predicted. This study establishes the foundation of selection and optimization of cutting parameters and deformation compensation for this kind of large thin-wall parts.
