Cutting Properties on Interpenetrating Network Composites by Cutting Simulation

Abstract

A simplified model with periodicity space characteristics is presented to simulate interpenetrating network composites. The cutting process on this material is analysed by FEM. The results show that reinforced phase volume percentage(V%) has great effects on cutting deformation. When reinforced phase V% is larger, the cutting forces especially back force Fp fluctuate obviously which causes the whole manufacturing system to vibrate intensely.

Experimental Cutting Force Properties on Interpenetrating Network Composites with Double Metal Phases

“…are interconnected, inter-twisted and interpenetrated each other in three dimensions. Due to the continuous network structure, the INC has good mechanical properties and wide application in various engineering fields [1][2][3][4][5]. On the other hand, because of the non-homogeneous microstructure, the cutting properties of INC are different from the traditional materials in cutting process.…”

Random Characteristics on Cutting Interpenetrating Network Composites

“…Interpenetrating network composites(INC) is composed of reinforced and matrix phases [1,2]. The two phases are interconnected, inter-twisted and interpenetrated each other which results in some novel characteristics especially in mechanical performance [3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…The two phases are interconnected, inter-twisted and interpenetrated each other which results in some novel characteristics especially in mechanical performance [3][4][5][6][7]. In INC cutting process, it has different cutting properties compared to homogeneous materials for its structure characteristics which finally has great effects on machining quality [1]. In present paper, three dimensional models for INC were established.…”
