Research on the key technologies and applications of finite element simulation for drilling
摘要
Drilling is a significant cutting method employed in manufacturing industries. With the development of computer technology, the finite element method (FEM) has been widely applied in the research of cutting. By simulating the drilling using FEM, it is possible to reveal the cutting mechanism and optimize the drilling process without conducting extensive experiment. This paper introduces the finite element software commonly used in drilling, summarizes the key techniques in finite element simulation of drilling, and reviews the applications of the finite element simulation of drilling in the research of chip morphology, cutting temperature, cutting force, and burr prediction. The problems existing in current research and the future development direction are pointed out. The research is helpful to promote the development and application of finite element simulation technology of drilling.
