Dynamics of thin-walled element milling expressed by recurrence analysis

Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimental research on the stability of a milling process for producing a thin-walled part made of AL7075 aluminium alloy. The part was machined on a CNC milling machine with a decreasing wall thickness. The acceleration and cutting forces in the process were measured and analyzed to determine stability limit using classical stability diagrams as well as recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis.
