ABSTRACT For the past fifty years researchers have developed various machining models to improve cutting performance. Several approaches have been taken including analytical techniques, slipline field solutions, empirical approaches and finite element techniques. Of these, the finite element approach provides the most detailed information on chip formation and chip interaction with the cutting tool. Finite element models have been developed for calculating the stress, strain, strain-rate, and temperature distributions in both the chip and the workpiece. In addition, tool temperatures, machining forces and cutting power requirements can be determined. This information is extremely, useful for developing more fundamental understanding of complex machining problems. This paper presents a critique of finite element approaches used for simulating machining processes. Several applications of the finite element technique for simulating various machining problems are also reviewed. A new application for determini...
