Modal Analysis of Circular Diamond Saw-blade for Deep Sawing of Granite

摘要

In this paper, finite element method (FEM) was applied to analyze the natural characteristics of a diamond saw-blade for deep sawing of natural granite. The vibration mode and nature frequency of the saw-blade were theoretically studied by a commercial FEM software. The factors influencing the natural characteristics of the saw-blade were also discussed. It was found that the natural frequency of the saw-blade increases with its thickness, rotary speed and clamping ratio, but decreases with its diameter.
