Item Open Access A data-driven approach for cutting force prediction in FEM machining simulations using gradient boosted machines(2024) Reeber, Tim; Wolf, Jan; Möhring, Hans-ChristianCutting simulations via the Finite Element Method (FEM) have recently gained more significance due to ever increasing computational performance and thus better resulting accuracy. However, these simulations are still time consuming and therefore cannot be deployed for an in situ evaluation of the machining processes in an industrial environment. This is due to the high non-linear nature of FEM simulations of machining processes, which require considerable computational resources. On the other hand, machine learning methods are known to capture complex non-linear behaviors. One of the most widely applied material models in cutting simulations is the Johnson-Cook material model, which has a great influence on the output of the cutting simulations and contributes to the non-linear behavior of the models, but its influence on cutting forces is sometimes difficult to assess beforehand. Therefore, this research aims to capture the highly non-linear behavior of the material model by using a dataset of multiple short-duration cutting simulations from Abaqus to learn the relationship of the Johnson-Cook material model parameters and the resulting cutting forces for a constant set of cutting conditions. The goal is to shorten the time to simulate cutting forces by encapsulating complex cutting conditions in dependence of material parameters in a single model. A total of five different models are trained and the performance is evaluated. The results show that Gradient Boosted Machines capture the influence of varying material model parameters the best and enable good predictions of cutting forces as well as deliver insights into the relevance of the material parameters for the cutting and thrust forces in orthogonal cutting.Item Open Access Numerical modeling of cutting characteristics during short hole drilling : part 2 - modeling of thermal characteristics(2024) Storchak, Michael; Stehle, Thomas; Möhring, Hans-ChristianThe modeling of machining process characteristics and, in particular, of various cutting processes occupies a significant part of modern research. Determining the thermal characteristics in short hole drilling processes by numerical simulation is the object of the present study. For different contact conditions of the workpiece with the drill cutting inserts, the thermal properties of the machined material were determined. The above-mentioned properties and parameters of the model components were established using a three-dimensional finite element model of orthogonal cutting. Determination of the generalized values of the machined material thermal properties was performed by finding the set intersection of individual properties values using a previously developed software algorithm. A comparison of experimental and simulated values of cutting temperature in the workpiece points located at different distances from the drilled hole surface and on the lateral clearance face of the drill outer cutting insert shows the validity of the developed numerical model for drilling short holes. The difference between simulated and measured temperature values did not exceed 22.4% in the whole range of the studied cutting modes.Item Open Access Assessment of the heat transfer conditions in the cavity of a rotating circular saw(2024) Stegmann, Jan; Baumert, Moritz; Kabelac, Stephan; Menze, Christian; Ramme, Johannes; Möhring, Hans-ChristianTo improve machining processes concerning the usage of lubricants, knowledge of the thermo-mechanical and thermo-fluid interactions at the cutting zone is of great importance. This study focuses on the description of the convective heat transfer which occurs during circular sawing when the lubricant is provided via an internal coolant supply. The highly complex flow field inside the cavity of the sawing process is separated into two distinct flow forms, an impingement and a channel flow. With the aid of experimental and numerical studies, the heat transfer characteristics of these two flow forms have been examined for water and a lubricant used in the circular sawing process. Studies have been conducted over a wide range of Reynolds numbers (impingement flow: 2×103Item Open Access Augmented reality to visualize a finite element analysis for assessing clamping concepts(2024) Maier, Walther; Möhring, Hans-Christian; Feng, Qi; Wunderle, RichardThis paper presents the development of an innovative augmented reality application for evaluating clamping concepts through visualizing the finite element analysis. The focus is on transforming the traditional simulation results into immersive, holographic displays, enabling users to experience and assess finite element analysis in three dimensions. The application development process involves data processing by MATLAB, visualization in the software Unity, and displaying holograms through Microsoft’s Hololens2. The most significant advancement introduces a new algorithm for rendering different finite elements in Unity. The application targets not only university engineering students but also vocational students with limited background in finite element analysis and machining, aiming to make the learning process more interactive and engaging. It was tested in a real machining environment, demonstrating its technical feasibility and potential in engineering education.Item Open Access In-process approach for editing the subsurface properties during single-lip deep hole drilling using a sensor-integrated tool(2024) Wegert, Robert; Guski, Vinzenz; Schmauder, Siegfried; Möhring, Hans-ChristianSingle-lip deep-hole drilling (SLD) is characterized by high surface quality and compressive residual stress in the subsurface of the drill hole. These properties depend significantly on the thermomechanical conditions in the machining process. The desired subsurface properties can be adjusted in-process via process monitoring near the cutting zone with a sensor-integrated tool and closed loop control when the thermomechanical conditions are maintained in the optimum range. In this paper, a method is presented to control the thermomechanical conditions to adjust the properties in the subsurface. The process model integrated in the controller is implemented as a soft sensor and takes into account the residual stresses, the roughness, the hardness and the grain size in the surface as well as in the subsurface depending on the process control variables, such as the feed rate and cutting speed. The correlation between the process variables, the thermomechanical conditions of the cutting process and the subsurface properties are investigated both experimentally and by finite element (FE) simulations. Within a justified process parameter range, characteristic fields for the soft sensor were established for each property. In addition, the procedure of controller design and the employed hardware and interfaces are presented.
