Depending on the milling process they are selected for, they can perform better or even worse than uniform pitch cutters do. Improved performance can be guaranteed by considering the reflected dynamic behaviour of the machine/tool/workpiece system. This work presents the achievable upper and lower capability bounds by introducing so-called stabilizability diagrams of a hypothetical variable pitch milling cutter that is tuned continuously along the stability boundaries.

The model takes the form of a delay differential equation which is non-smooth at the instant at which the tool loses contact with the workpiece, and which is coupled to an algebraic equation that stores the profile of the cut surface whilst the tool is not in contact. This system is approximated by a smooth delay differential equation without algebraic effects which is analysed with numerical continuation software. The grazing bifurcation that defines the onset of chattering motion is thus analysed as are secondary (period-doubling, etc.) bifurcations of chattering orbits, and convergence of the bifurcation diagrams is established in the vanishing limit of the smoothing parameters. The bifurcation diagrams of the smoothed system are then compared with initial value simulations of the full non-smooth delay differential algebraic equation. These simulations mostly validate the smoothing technique and show in detail how chaotic chattering dynamics emerge from the non-smooth bifurcations of periodic orbits. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Delay-differential equations often come up in different fields of engineering, such as feedback control systems, machine tool vibrations, and balancing/stabilization with reflex delay. The behavior of such systems is often counter-intuitive and closed form analytical formulas can rarely be given even for the linear stability conditions. The same holds for parametrically excited systems. If parametric excitation is coupled with the delay effect, then the governing equation is a delay-differential equation with time-periodic coefficients, and the stability properties are even more intriguing. The semi-discretization method is a simple but efficient method that is based on the discretization with respect to the delayed term and the periodic coefficients only. This discretization results in a system of ordinary differential equations that can be solved using standard techniques, which are part of basic engineering curriculums. The method can effectively be used to construct stability charts in the space of system parameters. These charts provide a useful tool for engineers, since they present an overview on the effects of system parameters on the local dynamics of the system. The book presents the application of the method to different engineering problems, such as dynamics of turning and milling processes with constant and with varying spindle speeds, stick balancing with reflex delay, force control processes in the presence of feedback delay, and stabilization using time-periodic control gains.
