Finite element simulation of the orthogonal cutting based on abaqus

In view of orthogonal cutting, finite element simulation geometry is built. the friction model, thermal conduction model and chip separation model are established between chip and tool using Abaqus which is a finite element analysis software. Through a specific example, two-dimensional finite element model have been established, simulating the cutting process stress distribution of the work piece surface is also obtained during processing. While simulation analyzes the relationship between the rake angle and shear angle, the results of simulation and experiment are basically the same, thus further verify the credibility of Abaqus simulation results on orthogonal cutting, and the feasible is also proved of obtaining cutting data by the use of Abaqus simulation cutting process.
