1. Introduction

High-speed machining processes are popular recently. Whenthe machining speed is increased, chatter becomes an importantsource of inaccuracy. The phenomenon of chatter usually comesfrom the dynamic coupling effects of the machining tool and theworkpiece. This manuscript then concentrates on the character-istics of a rotating beam subjected to external periodic axial andtransverse forces for simulating the dynamic responses of thelathing workpiece.

Many related problems arise from the dynamics of civilstructures such as bridges. Early investigation of a moving forceon the beam can be traced back to the paper by Timoshenko [1].More recently, Katz et al. [2] studied the dynamic characteristicsof a nonrotating Euler beam to a motion-dependent movingforce and showed the increasing stiffness of the beam due to theforce. Katz et al. [3] also looked into the vibration problem of arotating beam based on different beam models affected by movingloads. Huang and Chen [4] focused on the critical speed of amoving harmonic force to a spinning orthotropic beam. Argentoand Scott [5], Argento [6], and Argento and Morano [7] havepresented a series of papers about Rayleigh or Timoshenko beamssubject to accelerating, harmonic, displacement dependent, anddistributed forces.

methods. A paper written by Lee et al. [8] focused on theresponses of a rotating Timoshenko beam to external axialand transverse forces. A manuscript by Lee [9] discussed howthe present of a constant axial force affects the transient responseof the rotating shaft. The compressive axial force tends tocause drastic changes in the deflection. Huang and Chang [10]and Huang and Lee [11] have contributed methods of simulatingthe vibration of the workpiece of a lathing machine by a rotatingRayleigh beam subjected to a motion-dependent load. Here,the long-term time responses of the rotating beam can beobtained by applying a periodic load [11]. Following the previouswork, the transient responses of the workpiece of a lathingmachine were obtained by analyzing the coupled system of arotating shaft and a simple subsystem, including a mass and aspring, representing the dynamics of the cutting tool [12]. In thepaper by Katz [13], the transient dynamic response of a rotatingshaft subject to an axially moving and rotating load wasinvestigated. Cheng and Lin [14] introduced shear force termsinto the rotating Rayleigh beam model and studied the naturalfrequencies and the critical speed under the influence of movingforces. A finite-element method was also used to solve for therotating beam with nonlinear characteristics [15,16]. A series ofmanuscripts [17,18] have presented the transient responses of arotating Timoshenko beam subject to three-dimensional movingloads.

For simulating the dynamics of the workpiece of a lathe, arotating Rayleigh beam is considered here. This manuscriptintroduces external repeating, moving forces, in the axial andtransverse directions, for representing the main cutting and the

contacting forces due to the cutting tool to the beam. Thetransverse moving forces are assumed to be motion dependentand may yield instability to the system. Compared with Ref. [11],an additional moving force, in the axial direction, is introduced tothe system for simulating the cutting force from the tool.Existence of the axial force may also result in instability motion.Instead of short term, transient responses analyzed in [17,18]; thismanuscript focuses on the long-term dynamic characteristics andstability of the rotating beam. Here, the method of multiple scalesis employed to determine the stability characteristics of thesystem. Furthermore, fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is adoptedto perform the frequency domain analysis of the responses of thebeam. Numerical results are then presented and parametricstudies are also given in this manuscript.

2. Equations of motion of the rotating beam

In this manuscript, a rotating beam with simply supportedboundaries, shown in Fig. 1, is chosen to represent a latheworkpiece. The radius and the length of the beam are denotedas r and ‘, respectively. The beam rotates about the axial direction(x-axis) in a constant angular rotating speed O. Coordinates y andz are inertial frames in the transverse directions. Notation V(x, t)and W(x, t) represent transverse displacements of the beam in they and z directions, respectively.

2.1. Hamilton’s principle

The rotating angular vector of the flexible beam can beexpressed as [10]

~o ¼ O cos y cos f~iþ �@y@tþO cos y sin f

(1)

where y ¼ @W(x, t)/@x and f ¼ @V(x, t)/@t are slopes in the y and z

directions due to bending, respectively. Previous expression ofrotating angular velocity is further reduced to

~o ¼ O~iþ �@y@tþOf

in which E is Young’s modulus of the beam material, P(x, t) is theinternal axial tension, Fy(x, t) and Fz(x, t) are the externaltransverse forces resulted from the lathe cutting process. In Eq.(4), the first part in the first integral represents the potentialenergy due to bending, the second part is that from axialdeformation, and the second integral is the energy from externalforces.

The first and third terms in each equation can be foundfrom Euler beam formulation. The second term represents theeffect resulted form internal axial force P(x, t). The last threeterms, in the left-hand side of each equation, are due torotary inertia, the Coriolis effect, and the centripetal effect,respectively.

2.2. Dimensionless equations of motion

In above equations, dot means the derivative respect to thevariable t* and prime indicates the derivative respect to thevariable x*.

3. External forces

For simulating the cutting process of the lathe, the externalforces are assumed to move along the longitudinal direction of thebeam with constant velocity v. The schematic diagram of theapplied forces is given in Fig. 1. After the tool finishes one cycle ofcutting, it quickly goes back to the original position and starts anew cycle. Therefore, the tool actually yields external repeating orperiodic forces to the rotating beam. The lathe tool can result intwo types of forces to the beam, that is, the main cutting axialforce Px and the transverse contacting forces Fy and Fz.

3.1. The transverse forces

Consider the external transverse forces Fy and Fz representingcontacting forces due to the cutting tool of the lathe workpieceand moving along the x direction with constant speed v. Theforces start from x ¼ 0, travel to the end point x ¼ ‘, and take time‘1�‘/v before moving backward to the starting point x ¼ 0. Theseforces can travel in this pattern in a repeating manner and giveperiodic excitations to the beam. Define vn ¼ ð‘=

‘nc bn21 =ð2pÞ is determined when O1 matches the fundamental

with On ¼ nO1. Fourier coefficients An and Bn are functions of xn,

vn and ‘nc [11,19].

In this manuscript, the amplitude of the main contacting forcef ny is further assumed to be motion dependent because therotating beam exhibits the bending deflection Vn. On the otherhand, the force amplitude f nz is kept constant since it is muchsmall than f ny and of less importance. Then, the force amplitudesare rewritten as

3.2. The axial forces

5. Stability analysis

External periodic transverse and axial forces to the rotatingbeam can result in parametrically excited equations and maylead to instability even though the terms in the right-handside of Eq. (17) do not exist. Unstable motion can degrade theaccuracy of cutting and should be avoided. For simplicity, theeffects of the motion-dependent transverse force and the axialinternal force are discussed separately. Stability analysis of thehomogeneous, parametrically excited equations of motion is doneby employing an asymptotic method named the method ofmultiple scales [20].

5.1. The axial forces

First, consider only the mth mode of the vibration. Inother words, the interaction between different modes is nottaken into account. The homogeneous equations of motion arewritten as

Similar procedure, to that presented in the last section, isadopted to obtain the instability boundaries. Resonances may be

found near O1 ¼ 2om1, O2 ¼ 2om1, O1 ¼ 2om2, O2 ¼ 2om2,

O1 ¼ om1 þom2; O2 ¼ om1 þom2, O1 ¼ om2 �om1, or

O2 ¼ om2 �om1. The derivations of instability boundaries arecumbersome to show here but the results are listed in Table 2. Inconclusion, there are six instability regions for each combinationof m and i.

5.3. Numerical method for stability analysis

The stability conditions obtained in the previous section can bevalidated by comparing with the results from numerical methods.Consider a linear, parametrically excited ordinary differentialequation written as

€uþ p1ðtÞ _uþ p2ðtÞu ¼ 0 (37)

wherein coefficients p1(t) and p2(t) are periodic functions withperiod T. The general solution can be expressed asu(t) ¼ c1u1(t)+c2u2(t) where the fundamental solutions u1(t) andu2(t) are linearly independent solutions. These solutions have thefollowing characteristics [20]

u1ðt þ TÞ ¼ a11u1ðtÞ þ a12u2ðtÞ

u2ðt þ TÞ ¼ a21u1ðtÞ þ a22u2ðtÞ

(or fuðt þ TÞg ¼ ½A�fuðtÞg (38)

with {u} ¼ [u1,u2]T and the constant matrix ½A� ¼a11 a12

a22 a21

" #.

Following Eq. (38), one has {u(t+nT)} ¼ [A]n{u(t)}. Consequently,the stability of the solution depends on the eigenvalues of matrix[A]. If the absolute value of any eigenvalue is greater than 1, thesystem becomes unstable. In our numerical calculation, startingfrom two independent sets of initial conditions {u(0)} ¼ [1,0]T and{u(0)} ¼ [0,1]T, the differential equations are directly integrated

from t ¼ 0 to T ¼ 2p=O1. The numerical results to these twointegrations become columns of [A]. Then, calculating theeigenvalues of [A] gives the stability condition of the system. Thismethod is usually referred to as the Floquet theory.

The equations of motion of the rotating beam, investigated inthis manuscript, are also examined by using the Floquet theory forverifying the instability determined by employing the method ofmultiple scales.

6. Numerical results and discussions

The dynamic characteristics of the rotating beam subjected toexternal repeating forces are determined and presented in thissection. Fig. 3 shows the natural frequencies om1 and om2 form ¼ 1 and 2 of the rotating beam. Each frequency of thenonrotating beam is found bifurcating into two branches whilethe rotating frequency O* increased. This is due to the effect ofintroducing rotating effects in the beam model.

the instability boundaries, for m ¼ 1 and i ¼ 1, from the method ofmultiple scales. Each instability region is enclosed by two straightlines. There are three instability regions for each combination of m

and i as given in Table 1. A major instability region, marked by thegray area, occurs near vn=vn

EC ¼ 1 surrounded by two additionalminor instability regions. The minor regions are narrow andappear in the form of straight lines. Note that for a nonrotatingEuler beam, vn=vn

EC ¼ 1 can yield zero natural frequency andinstability. Although the minor regions can be determinedtheoretically, their widths are actually small and usually can beneglected. Fig. 4(b) shows the numerical results of the homo-genous form of Eq. (17) with g1 ¼ 0 found by the Floquet theory.Here, the unstable solutions are represented by small dots in thefigure. Because of the resolution chosen in our numerical method,some small instability regions may not be visible in Fig. 4(b). Theresults obtained by using the method of multiple scales are closeto the numerical results except a small region near vn=vn

EC ¼ 0:5due to the second-order effect.

Fig. 5 shows the coupling effect of different modes m andfrequency components i in the Fourier series expansion of theperiodic axial force. Fig. 5(a) gives the instability regions fordifferent vibration modes m and i ¼ 1. Each higher mode m canbring three more regions at higher values of vn=vn

EC . This is

expectable since natural frequencies of higher modes are of largervalues. As mentioned previously, the minor instability regions aresmall and usually negligible. Fig. 5(b) shows results due to theinteractions between m ¼ 1 and different frequency components i.Higher i can induce more small instability regions at lower vn=vn

EC.However, the instability regions associated to larger i are lessimportant since they are very narrow compared with those fori ¼ 1. Fig. 6(a) shows the instability regions of modes 1 and 2 byusing the Floquet theory while Fig. 6(b) is for much lager values ofpn

6.2. Stability analysis to external transverse forces

The instability boundaries of the response, in the y direction, ofthe rotating beam due to motion-dependent transverse force f nyare given here. The periodic transverse forces represent thecontacting forces to the workpiece from the cutting tool.

Fig. 8 shows the instability regions for m ¼ 1 and n ¼ 1. In Fig.8(a), the results obtained by the method of multiple scales and inFig. 8(b) those by the Floquet theory are given. The results in Figs.8(a) and (b) compare well. There are total 6 instability regions, foreach combination of m and n, as given in Table 2. Three majorregions occur close to vn=vn

EC ¼ 2:5 and negligible minor regionscan be found at lower vn=vn

EC. Analysis of the results correspond-ing to higher m or n can yield much smaller and less importantinstability regions omitted in the manuscript. These are similarconclusions to those given in the previous section.

is, raising rotating speed can give lower natural frequencies, andas a consequence, the instability regions occur at lower values ofvn=vn

EC . The instability regions for different R* are about the samesize in our cases.

6.3. Frequency domain analysis for varying transverse forces

In this section, the time response Vn in the y direction at themidpoint of the rotating beam are presented in Fig. 10 which gives

the transverse time response with system parameters R* ¼ 0.5,vn ¼ 1:0, g1 ¼ 0.5, pn

x ¼ 0:5, fn

y ¼ 0:5, and fn

z ¼ 0:5: From Fig. 10 andthe stability diagram Fig. 4, one can find that this is a stableresponse. For understanding more details of the system, fastFourier transformation is performed to the steady-state timeresponse and results in the frequency domain diagram in Fig. 11(a)and the enlarged Fig. 11(b). Major frequency components arefound near frequency values 7, 9, and 16. For comparison, relatedfrequency values corresponding to the chosen system parametersare listed in Table 3. From the figure, two major frequencycomponents, each with a notable side peak, are observedclose to natural frequencies of the first mode. There are alsosmall peaks near natural frequencies of the third mode. Thesecond mode components are missing here since the midpoint ofthe beam is the node of this mode. Another major peak isobserved near the forcing frequency O1 due to the movement ofexternal forces. Some small peaks with harmonic frequencies ofO1 also appear. Although not shown here, the response in the z

direction looks quite similar to that in the y direction. Thus, in thefollowing discussions, except specified, the frequency domaindiagram only shows FFT of the y displacement at the midpoint ofthe beam.

z ¼ 0:5. Here, Fig. 12(a) gives the frequency domain of the y

displacement at the midpoint of the beam while Fig. 12(b) showsthat of the z displacement compared with Fig. 11. The increasedtransverse force in the y direction can bring all three major peakshigher. Two curves in Figs. 12(a) and (b) look similar except theforcing frequency component in the y direction is larger than thatin the z direction. Increasing the amplitude of transverse force inthe z direction can also give similar effects except this changeaffects response in the z direction instead of that in the y direction.

The frequency domain results of varying motion-dependentparameter g1 are presented in Fig. 13. Enlarging parameter g1 canhardly affect the three major peaks but enhancing a new minorfrequency component near the higher natural frequency of thefirst mode. The new component is brought out by the interactionof moving forces and the motion of the beam.

6.4. Frequency domain analysis for varying the axial force

A typical unstable response Vn for pnx ¼ 1:0 is shown in

Fig. 14. The frequency responses for different amplitudes of

the axial force are compared in Figs. 15(a) and (b). FromFig. 4, varying pn

x can make the system move from the stabilityregion to the unstable region for pn

x ¼ 1:0. In Fig. 15(a),the increase of the axial force tends to merge the main peak andthe side peak. For the system with a stable response, theamplitudes of these peaks change gently until they becomedramatically massive when unstable. The peak near the forcingfrequency is slightly amplified due to the increase of the axialforce. For unstable motion, this peak also turns into substantiallylarge.

6.5. Frequency domain analysis for varying moving speed of the

forces

The effects of altering moving speeds of the externalforces are proposed in Fig. 16. Varying moving speed v* canresult in change of the forcing frequency O1. In Fig. 16(a), notonly the peak of the frequency component correspondingto O1 but also two peaks related to first natural frequencieschange with v*. Fig. 16(b) gives the peak values of three majorfrequency components for different moving speeds v*. Twopeaks related to natural frequencies of the first mode reach

Fig. 17 presents the frequency spectrum of V* for variousrotating speeds R* of the beam. A lower rotating speed can yieldhigher natural frequencies. The frequencies occurring first twomajor peaks also become higher. Their amplitudes usuallydecrease with the decrease of the rotating speed. On the contrary,the change of rotating speed can seldom affect the third majorpeak related to the forcing frequency O1 although not shown inthe figure.

7. Conclusions

The dynamic characteristics of the bending deflection of arotating Rayleigh beam are investigated. The beam is a theoreticalmodel of the workpiece of a lathing machine. This manuscriptconsiders moving forces involving an axial force and transverseforces for simulating the forces resulted from the cutting tool. Therepeating motion of the external forces is represented by Fourierseries. The equations of motion of the rotating beam, including theeffect of an axial force, are derived by Hamilton’s principle. Thestability analysis of time responses is preformed by the method ofmultiple scales. The frequency spectrums are obtained by usingFFT analysis.

The results show that the presence of the axial moving forcecan yield one major instability region for each vibration mode. Onthe other hand, the transverse, motion-dependent transverseforce brings out three substantial instability regions about thesame size for each mode. The instability regions corresponding toa higher rotating speed appear usually of larger areas at lowermoving speeds of the forces.

Fast Fourier transform of the stable time response at themidpoint of the beam reveals three significant peaks in thefrequency domain. Two are related to natural frequencies ofthe first mode of the rotating beam. These peaks are sensitive toamplitudes of the transverse forces and the rotating speed.Additional peak occurs near the forcing frequency due to themovement of the external forces. The varying of the amplitude ofthe axial moving force can affect all of three major peaks.
