Finite Element Analysis of Chemical Assisted Ultrasonic Machining Process to Investigate the Effect of Abrasive on Polycarbonate (UL-752) Glass and USM Tool

Abstract

In this research paper, the Finite Element Analysis is used for the investigation. The modal of polycarbonate bullet proof glass and the abrasive particle is prepared to study the effect of machining mechanism. Through analysis, it concludes that hard abrasive gives the large stressed zone, which increases the material removal rate. In this experimental study, Boron carbide abrasive gives better material removal rate as compared to Silicon carbide and Alumina Abrasive. It also observed from the analysis, higher material removal rate also encourage the tool wear rate. Boron carbide gives higher tool wear rate as compare to other abrasive. The results are verified with the experimentation, it gives the approximately same results of Finite Element Analysis.
