Model-Based Analysis of the Surface Generation in Microendmilling—Part I: Model Development

This paper presents the development of models that describe the surface-generation process for microendmilling. The surface-generation models for the sidewall and floor surfaces consist of deterministic and stochastic models. In the sidewall surface-generation model, the deterministic model characterizes the surface topography generated from the relative motion between the major cutting edge and the workpiece material. The model includes the...
