Investigating the Applicability of Particle Damping in Milling Heads through Numerical Simulation
Abstract
In milling, regenerative chattering results in tool damage and poor workpiece quality. Particle filled cavities in milling heads have shown to be usable as a possible remedy for this effect. The application of particle dampers (PD) in manufacturing processes is therefore promising, yet it is not sufficiently investigated. In this paper, the effect of the rotational speed and the introduction of an obstacle grid is investigated through numerical simulation. The discrete element method is used to model the particle filling in the PD cavity. Effectiveness is analyzed through the particle movement and acting forces on the cavity walls.
