Force, stress prediction in drilling of AISI 1045 steel using finite element modelling

Abstract

Machining simulation is a primary research area all around the world. Many researchers are attempting to understand the underlying principles of machining. Earlier research has started with orthogonal machining then slowing is now progressing into oblique machining. Even though extensive research has been carried out in the field of machining and its allied areas, still the process of understanding the nuances of the machining processes is underway. The research is happening on the theoretical and experimental front. Numerical simulation has helped the researchers in understanding the machining processes within a quick duration and it is to a certain extent reliable. Here the authors of the work have tried to outline the procedure and the method involved in Finite element simulation of the machining processes. In the present work, commercially available software is used for numerical simulation purposes. The machining purposes considered for the research work is drilling process.
