It is found that tool eccentricity induces the periodical variation of the heat densities both at the tool−workpiece interface and inside the shear layer, but the fluctuation amplitudes of the heat density variations are limited. However, it is demonstrated that tool eccentricity results in significant variation of the material flow behavior in one tool rotating period.
