Abstract

A crystal-plasticity modelling framework was implemented to simulate micromachining of a single-crystal metal. A new shear strain-based criterion was proposed to control material removal. This criterion was implemented in three different modelling techniques: element deletion, arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) adaptive remeshing and smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) in a general-purpose finite-element software package ABAQUS. The three different modelling approaches were compared in terms of their computational accuracy and efficiency. Based on these studies, an optimized modelling strategy was proposed to simulate microscratching of single-crystal copper. The validity of the suggested methodology was corroborated through comparison between FE simulations and experimental data in terms of cutting forces, chip morphology and pile-up patterns in the work-piece.
