Finite element analysis and experimental of milling force for aeronautical thin-walled workpiece

Traveling load and rotating load can be applied to the tool on the basis of analyzing the relative position between tool and workpiece in assemble model of finite simulation, a finite element model based on trochoid-motion is built. In order to reduce the simulation time, the transition mesh method was used to optimize the finite element model. This paper considers performance parameter of the workpiece, and studied the variation regularities of milling force on the Aeronautical thin-walled by using ABAQUS. At last the experiment shows that the finite element model was verified to be feasible, and the result is reliable.
