Cutting Force Model Incorporating Plastic Flow Characteristics of Workpiece Material and FEM verification

The plasticity characteristics of the material were used to model the cutting force material, and were verified by using FEM techniques. In addition, the solutions generated by The Merchant's Circle were proven by vector algebra, and a shear angle solution which uses the plasticity characteristics of the material is also presented. A good agreement was found between the mathematical models, FEM results, and experimental data results found in open literature.
