The nonlinear chatter in grinding machine system is discussed analytically in the paper. In higher speed grinding process the self-excited chatter vibration is mostly induced by the change of grinding speed and grinding wheel shape. Here the grinding machine tool is viewed as a nonlinear multi-d.o.f. autonomous system in which hysteretic factors of contact surfaces are also introduced. Firstly the DOFs of the above system are reduced efficiently without changing its dynamic properties by utilizing the center manifold theorem and averaging method. Then a low dimensional system and corresponding averaging equations are obtained. The stability and bifurcation of chatter system are discussed on the base of deduced averaging equations. It is proved that chatter occurs as a Hopf bifurcation emerging from the steady state at the origin of system. The theoretical analyses on the multi-dof chattering system will lead to further understanding of the nonlinear mechanisms of higher speed grinding processes. Introduction Nowadays vibration problems are becoming more and more important in grinding processes especially in higher working speed. Most determined vibrations in machine tools are caused by unbalanced shaft gears and bearings or by the surroundings. But some serious vibrations so-called chatters are indeed self-excited with certain frequencies and mainly caused by the coupling of work-pieces and machine tool. In any case some chattering phenomena can be explained by machine dynamic models including some technique parameters such as the coupling of structural modes and cutting surface waves []. And lots of researches are achieved in system stability prediction and many experiment data are also accumulated. The influence of the contact surfaces between grinding wheel and work-piece and some chaotic phenomena in chatters were studied [~5]. Considering hysteresis existing in contact surfaces the stability of chattering amplitude and the separation of stability threshold are analyzed [6]. However in the viewpoint of nonlinear theory chatter system has not been studied sufficiently such as the developing process from stable to unstable and the dynamic bifurcation behavior etc. []. In the paper considering the regenerative effect in grinding process and the hysteretic non-linearity of contact surfaces the machine structure is regarded as a high-dimensional autonomous nonlinear system. Since the number of chattering frequencies is less than the number of D.O.F of the whole system the theoretical problem to construct system solutions needs to be resolved. After reducing the dimensions with center manifold method the stability and bifurcation characteristics of a low dimensional chatter system are then analyzed based on averaging method. At last the stable boundaries of the corresponding linearized system and bifurcation diagrams of different control parameters are illustrated. All rights reserved.

Nonlinear Chattering in Grinding Process A chatter system a multi-d.o.f. nonlinear autonomous system of machine tool structure containing the grinding speed and others as bifurcation control parameters p is u & = f ( u n u U R m p P R.

Key Engineering Materials Vols. -5 5 Conclusions In this paper the higher-dimensional multi-d.o.f. nonlinear system with hysteresis is adopted to describe the chattering vibration of grinding machine tool. The nonlinear parametrical system is treated with center manifold method and the averaging method and a lower dimensional system is obtained with the same stability and bifurcation properties. Based on the obtained average equations and single frequency differential equations the typical analytical results on stability and bifurcation are presented. The projection of proposed multi-d.o.f. system of grinding chattering vibration on n c + m dimensional center manifold can approximately represent the dynamic characteristics of the whole system near the origin point. The obtained average equations from normalized equation of chattering system possess one resonant monomial and it can be used to identify Arnold normal form of Hopf bifurcation. According to Poincare-Lyapunov theorem the stability of deduced single D.O.F. system equation with hysteresis is discussed with different linear and nonlinear damping. The bifurcations of chatter vibration are analyzed theoretically. Besides some typical stable boundary curves and bifurcation diagrams illustrate the complex characteristics of the chatter vibration system of machine tool in grinding process.
