AbstractThis study develops and implements the relationships among the machining parameters in five-axis end milling. This thesis deals with the machining method milling and the forces affecting the tool during a milling operation. To calculate the cutting forces, the algorithm consists of two pa1is. The first part of the algorithm is based on the simulation of different tool geometries and conditions of the tool engagement during a machining process. The purpose of these simulations is to obtain the intersections of two solids models: solid model of tool and solid model of workpiece. A flat end mill cutter (solid model of tool) is modeled by a cylinder as cutter body and boxes as rectangular inserts. The second part is forces calculation based on general cutting theory. However, a general mathematical model of inserts, cutter and workpiece with consideration of lead/lag and tilt angle is proposed by using the transformation matrix. For practical use this simplified approach may be enough but when a more precise calculation of the load condition are required, i.e for process control or research when th~ varying chip thickness must be taken into consideration, the general model is given.
