Redundant spurious loops and overlapping segments in stability lobe diagrams cannot be removed easily by regular methods. A programmatic approach is presented to detect multiple spurious loops occurring within the lobes. They are identified by reorganizing the numerical lobe data into speed-depth corners for subsequent removal. The same principle is then extended to remove overlapping segments of adjacent lobes to obtain a final continuous stability map. Unlike existing methods, the proposed methodology requires no interface with additional editing software, and can also yield stability lobe diagrams more quickly. The methodology is presented with lobe diagrams constructed using milling and turning models.

Chattering during the milling process causes severe problems on both the workpiece and cutting tools. However, chatter vibration is the inevitable phenomenon that operators require the prediction before the process or monitoring system to avoid the chatter in real-time. To predict the chatter vibration with the stability lobe diagram, the dynamic parameters of machine tool are extracted by considering cutting conditions and adapting the material properties. In this study, experimental verifications were taken for various aluminum types with different feed rates to observe the effect of the key parameters. The comparison between experimental results and the predictions was also performed.

The dynamics of spindle-bearing-workpiece system significantly affects the cutting condition and stability in milling process. The present paper investigates the chatter stability of milling process due to the change in the dynamics of spindle-bearing-workpiece systems. In particular, the present paper focuses on chatter stability due to the presence of gyroscopic effect. An eigenvalue problem approach to the stability of milling process is extensively used in this paper. To incorporate the rotational speed dependent gyroscopic effect, an iterative algorithm is proposed. A numerical example is provided for examining the chatter stability problem in the presence of gyroscopic effects.
