Cutting stress modeling and parameter identification for fine drilling process based on various cutting mechanisms

Abstract

The superposition effect of various cutting mechanisms (CM) in the fine drilling process brings great challenges to the accurate characterization of the cutting stress field of the workpiece. To solve the above problem, the cutting stress characterization modeling and parameter identification for the fine drilling process with multiple cutting mechanisms is studied in this paper. Firstly, two cutting mechanisms (shear-slip and plough-slip) are distinguished according to the relative tool sharpness (RTS) which is determined by the cutting tool radius and cutting depth, and the fine characterization model for drilling stress of the workpiece is constructed by considering the two cutting mechanisms. Then, in order to overcome the problem that model parameters are difficult to be accurately determined, the sub-interval decomposition optimization method (SDOM) and the improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) are employed to identify parameters in the model. Finally, the proposed method is verified by comparing the single cutting mechanism model, the multiple cutting mechanisms model, and the actual characterization parameter model.
