✦ Synopsis

One of the most important factors affecting the quality and productivity of turning operations is the dynamics of the system. In this study a computer program is developed to simulate turning operations. The program represents turning operations with a tool geometry simulation module, and the discrete transfer functions of machining process and machine tool structure. The discrete transfer functions of the turning operation are determined by dynamic experiments. The developed program is run at different depth of cuts to study the development and finite amplitude vibrations of chatter. The characteristics of the simulated data agree with the results of previous experimental studies. The simulation program is very convenient to study the chatter susceptibility of machine tool, workpiece and tool geometries. b bl, b2 Ct,, Cox, Cir, Coy dA (xi, Yi, x,,, Yo
