DYNAMIC ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF PROCESS PARAMETERS IN TURNING OPERATION BY USING ADAMS SOFTWARE

Metal turning process is a widely used process in Metal removal operations for reducing the diameter of workpiece. The force obtained in these operations are investigated experimentally and analytically with the help of numerical and optimization methods. Since, these machining operations have a complex structure; it is quite difficult to solve them analytically. Experimental method is also both costly and time consuming. However, this complex structure can be solved and analyze easily by using CAD based dynamic analysis software like ADAMs. This paper consist a software approach for dynamic analysis and optimization of process parameter in turning operation. The process of turning is influenced by many parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut; which are difficult to analyze analytically and experimentally; can be easily identified by using simulation tools on ADAMs. This Paper work contains a three dimensional dynamic modeling of turning process and simulation of model, to identify the effect of process parameter on various forces like Cutting force, Feed Force and Radial force and also to optimize the parameters for minimum cutting force. The magnitude of force variation thus obtained is further validated with the experimental results. The dynamic force magnitudes obtained experimentally and obtained in ADAMs are closely matching. This proves that the accuracy of the developed 3D model, dynamic analysis software and analytical model.
