Abstract:
In this paper, the modelling of a cutting process of a cold-rolled steel sheet using a symmetrical cutting tool is presented. The fast-changing nonlinear dynamic cutting process was elaborated by means of the finite element method and the computer system LS-DYNA. Experimental investigations using scanning electron microscopy were performed and the results are presented in this work. The numerical results were compared with experimental ones. The comparison shows a good agreement between the results obtained by means of numerical modelling and those received from experimental investigations. The numerical simulations of the cutting process and the experimental investigations aimed to understand the mechanism of the cutting process. They serve as a highly professional tool for carrying out research investigating the behavior of complex nonlinear fast-changing dynamical cutting processes in the future.
