1. Assume the tool-workpiece contact to be a parallel spring damper system as shown in Fig. 1.

+ + =
Viscous damping ratio, =


a) For free vibrations (F(t)=0), solve the differential equation and plot solutions for
critically damped(=1) and underdamped(<1)
b) Machine tools encounter unit impulse, unit step and periodic force functions which may
excite vibration in the machine.
Assuming F(t) to be unit impulse function and unit step function, plot their responses for
the spring-damper system for a critically damped condition (=1) and make
observations on the differences.


2. You are grinding a steel, which has a specific grinding energy (u) of 25 W-s/mm

. The
grinding wheel rotates at 3000 rpm, has a diameter (D) of 120 mm, thickness (b) of 20 mm,
and (c) 5 grains per mm
2
(c). The motor has a power of 2 kW. The work piece moves (v) at
1.5 m/min. The chip thickness ratio (r) is 10.

a) Determine the grinding force and force per grain.
b) Determine the temperature (K

is 0.2
o
K-m/N). Room temperature is 20
o
C.

Let the grain be a SiC grain modeled as a continuously varying circular beam as shown in
Fig. 2. Assume the force/grain is acting at the tip and the bonding is perfect. Use cantilever
beam theory to find maximum stress. Will these stresses be sufficient to fail the grain? Look
up all the properties of SiC.
