Abstract
Abstract. In the machining of monolithic components, machining distortion is a severe issue. The presence of initial residual stress is a major contributor to machining distortion. This paper proposes an approach to control the machining distortion of long beam parts by optimizing the workpiece structure before the start of the finishing stage, i.e. the transition structure. The first step is to establish a machining distortion analytical model for long beam parts with an identical cross-section, which is based on reasonable assumptions such as material linear elasticity and ignoring the influence of cutting heat. Then, an optimization model for the cross-section of the transition structure is developed, with the objective function defined as the minimum difference between the predicted distortion of the final part and the transition structure. Finally, a U-shaped beam is designed, followed by numerical simulation and machining experiments for verification. The theoretical maximum distortion of the optimized transition structure and the final part are −0.174 and −0.1782 mm, respectively, with a relative error of 2.9 %. The results of machining experiments and finite-element simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
