The specific cutting resistance model (CLAS_PL)
The specific cutting resistance model (CLAS_CZ)
The newly developed cutting model (FRAC_MOD)
- at the position of the cutting edge in relation to the grains, for indirect positions of the cutting edge fracture toughness \(R_{|| \bot \_j} (\varphi )\) and the shear yield stress \(\tau_{\gamma || \bot \_j} (\varphi )\) are calculated. This approach has been implemented for computation of the shear yield stress and fracture toughness as tensor values (Orlowski et al. 2013; Hlásková et al. 2015) according to Orlicz (1988), who applied the plane stress transformation equation for the determination of specific cutting resistance in indirect positions of the cutting speed direction. It ought to be emphasized that the same method is commonly used in general mechanics of materials to transform the stress components from one set of axes to another (Gere 2004).
- The shear angle Фc(φj) is determined numerically from the equation determining least cutting force Fc (for indirect tooth position), which has been proposed by Atkins (2003).
- The shear strain along the shear plane γj(φj) and the friction correction Qshear_j(φj) are calculated.
- The cutting power of chip formation for each tooth is computed, and simultaneously, a plot of cutting power versus an angle of rotation is created;
- Eventually, the total cutting power of chip formation \(P_{{c\_{\text{CF}}}} (\varphi )\) is calculated and its relevant graph is generated.
