CUTTING FORCE PREDICTION USING A MOLECULAR DYNAMIC ASSISTED FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION MODEL

摘要

Linking material property acquisition and modeling in the nanometric scale with those on the macro-scale is currently one of the most challenging fields of research in material science in general and in micromachining in particular. Due to computational limitations it is presently impossible to inflate atomic level models and simulations to the macro sized components we work with daily. This knowledge of material behaviour will provide insight into process development, modeling and the optimization of critical ultra-precision machining processes.
