The 2D elliptical vibration assisted cutting(EVC), which has significant advantages in the tool wearing restriction, cutting heat reduction, the quality of the finished surface improvement, is widely supposed to be the most promising machine method to difficult-to-cut materials and micro-texturing formation. Based on the certain 2D EVC structure, three structures of different angles (30°, 60°and 90°) for optimization and the corresponding finite element models of the three structures are created. The simulation analyses of static structure, modal and harmonic response of these structures have been conducted. The 60° topological structure was selected for the final design model after the comprehensive comparison about the resonance frequency, vibration modes and vibration amplitudes of the elliptical trajectories in the tool tip. The performance test system has been est.. View More»
