A Hybrid Full-Discretization Method of Multiple Interpolation Polynomials and Precise Integration for Milling Stability Prediction

As milling chatter can lead to poor machining quality and limit the efficiency of productivity, it is of great significance to learn about milling chatter stability and research the effective and fast prediction of milling stability. In this study, a hybrid full-discretization method of multiple interpolation polynomials and precise integration (HFDM) is proposed for milling stability prediction. Firstly, the third-order Newton interpolation polynomial, third-order Hermite interpolation polynomial and linear interpolation are applied to approximate the state term, delay term and periodic coefficient matrix, respectively. Meanwhile, the matrix exponentials can be calculated based on the precise integration algorithm, which can improve computational accuracy and efficiency. The numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed method can not only effectively generate a stability lobe diagram (SLD) but also obtain better prediction accuracy and computation efficiency. A milling experiment is offered to demonstrate the feasibility of the method.
