Progress in modelling and simulation of the machining process – part I

In this paper some rules of a multiscale modelling and numerical simulations of fundamental physical phenomena associated with the machining process, including mechanisms of plastic deformation, chip formation and interfacial friction are overviewed.Some representative examples of the modelling application to multiphase and composite materials, determination of constants in the material constitutive equations and simulation of nano-and micromachining processes using MD-FEM and SPH-FEM hybrid methods are given.
