Research on Solid Modeling and a Different Mode of Loading with Finite Element Analysis for Flat End Mill

This work aims to investigate parameterized modeling and a different mode of loading with finite element analysis for flat end mill. A loading mode is chosen according to the cutting force model of overall end mills. Normal and shear stresses which calculate from the cutting force experiments are loaded on the rack face of flat end mill. The stress distribution of end mill in high-speed cutting is obtained by finite element analysis. It is shown that the maximum stress is located at major flank face near the tool tip, rather than the nose of tool and the chisel edge. It shows the tool breakage mechanism in the local region. In the end, we compared the finite element analysis results with the experiment ones. It indicates that the analysis results agree well with the experimental data. Therefore, the proposed loading mode is available.
