Efficient approximation of stochastic turning process based on power spectral density

Abstract

AbstractTurning is one of the most important material removal processes in manufacturing, where the proper understanding of the process is crucial for the quality of the final product. In this study, the stochastic cutting force is utilized to enhance the existing 1-degree-of-freedom turning model. A stochastic model is adopted to address the stochastic resonance phenomenon occurring near stability boundaries. Additionally, a novel simplified stochastic model is introduced with additive noise only. The comparison of the two models reveals that, with the recommended noise intensity of 0.1 to 1%, there is no significant difference in the stability charts and mean square characteristics between the two models. As a result, the time-consuming numerical methods can be bypassed, as the simplified model offers a computationally more efficient analytical approach to compute variance based on power spectral density (PSD). By combining techniques such as D-separation to determine stability boundaries and the PSD-based variance calculation, it only takes a minute instead of hours to construct a heatmap using the introduced simplified stochastic turning model that clearly outlines dangerous stochastic resonance regions inside the stable domain.
