Abstract
Accurate prediction of tool tip dynamics is vital for understanding machine tool behavior and chatter. Traditional methods involve several impact tests, finite element simulations, and the receptance coupling (RC) approach. However, substructure coupling necessitates multiple experiments and encounters difficulties due to complexities of capturing rotational dynamics. The intricate nature of RC inhibits its widespread industrial applicability in predicting tool tip dynamics. We introduce machine learning (ML)-based approach relying on a few experiments and computer vision to predict dynamics. Comparative analysis with direct experiments shows the ML-based method's potential to expedite dynamic identification with accuracy, chatter prediction, and machining process optimization.
