Park a, Yusuf Altintas a,?, Mohammad Movahhedy b a Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada b Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran Received 6 January 2003; received in revised form 28 February 2003; accepted 6 March 2003 Abstract Identi?cation of chatter free cutting conditions, the chatter stability lobes, requires a measurement of the frequency response function FRF of each tool mounted on the spindle. This paper presents a method of assembling known dynamics of the spindle– tool holder with an analytically modeled end mill using the receptance coupling technique. The classical receptance technique is enhanced by proposing a method of identifying the end mill–spindle/tool holder joint dynamics, which include both translational and rotational degrees of freedom. The method requires measurement of FRFs with impact tests applied on the spindle–tool holder assembly and blank calibration cylinders attached to the spindle. The spindle and tool holder characteristics are completely identi?ed from the two experiments, and used for the mathematical prediction of FRF for end mills with arbitrary dimensions. The proposed method is experimentally proven and veri?ed in cutting tests. ? 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
