Vibration assistance has increasing applications in metal removal processes. This method induces highfrequency and low-amplitude vibration in the feed direction during cutting, and has the potential to
reduce cutting forces leading to improved surface quality and reduced tool wear. Note that this cutting
process is distinct from ultrasonic machining. This paper presents a thrust force model to predict the
thrust force during vibration-assisted drilling of aluminum 6061-T6. This model incorporates plowing
force and strain rate-dependent shear strength to provide more accurate predictions than the existing
model. The results of 72 drilling experiments with TiN-coated standard twist drills are reported. The
predictions from the developed thrust force model are compared with the experimental results. The
comparison demonstrates that the maximum deviation between the predictions and the averaged
values of the experimental measurements is 20% using the existing model and only 7% using the
proposed model.

1. Introduction
Conventional metal cutting methods, such as drilling, produce
relatively high cutting forces and low machined surface quality.
High cutting forces generally increase tool wear, and reduce
machined surface quality. This directly affects the post-processing
efforts such as surface nishing and deburring, leading to
increased production cost. There are various methods to reduce
tool wear and improve surface nish. These include using a
special coating on the tool; changing (typically reducing) the
material removal rate (MRR); or even laser-assisted machining,
which alters the mechanical properties of the workpiece material.
One recent and promising technique is known as ultrasonic
assisted or vibration-assisted machining.
Vibration-assisted machining is a pure mechanical process that
does not require sacricing MRR or altering the mechanical properties of the workpiece material. This technique typically induces
high-frequency (41000 Hz) and low-amplitude (o0.015 mm)
vibration in the feed direction of a cutting process. It has been
shown that this technique can reduce thrust force and improve
surface quality. One application of vibration-assisted machining is
vibration-assisted drilling (VAD) [15]. We have previously shown
that under preferable vibration conditions, the thrust force can be
reduced by VAD, while poor choice of vibration conditions can
result in increase in thrust force [1]. Modeling and predicting
thrust force is important for nding these preferable conditions.

modeled the plowing force empirically, and veried that plowing
force can be signicant.
The prior model of VAD ignored both the plowing force
component and the strain rate dependence of the material. This
paper presents a novel thrust force model for VAD that
incorporates these two factors. Our modeling approach is
consistent with the approaches used in the modeling of dynamic
cutting force in metal cutting with the presence of chatter
vibrations discussed above. It will be shown that by modeling
the dynamic uncut chip thickness alone as is done in the prior
VAD force model, the model fails to predict the thrust force for
VAD accurately, while the proposed model improved the accuracy
of the force predictions and the prediction of the favorable
vibration condition that minimizes thrust force. In Section 2, the
theoretical development of the model is presented. In Section 3,
comparisons between model predictions and experimental measurements are presented. Conclusions are given in Section 4.

In Eqs. (10) and (11), Fpt and Fpx are the plowing force components
in the thrust and horizontal directions, respectively; fsp is the
experimentally determined specic plowing force; DVi is the
displaced volume; and mc is the mean friction coefcient of the
toolwork interface. DVi will now be estimated by considering the
tool prole and the maximum depth of the machined surface.
The tool prole can be modeled by dividing each drill element
into small segments along the drill ank direction. Fig. 5 shows
the difference between the drill elements and the segments. The
axial location of segment k on each drill element can be calculated

During metal cutting, the strain rate along the primary and
secondary shear zone reaches 103106 s1. These strain rates are
signicantly higher than the nominal strain rate (103101 s1)
used to determine generic material properties. Therefore, instead
of using the generic value, the JohnsonCook model will be used
to estimate the shear strength ti. The empirical constants used in
the JohnsonCook model for aluminum 6061-T6 were reported by
Guo [28]. These constants were ne-tuned slightly using some of
the experimental results, which will be presented in Section 3. In
the proposed model, ti is modeled by the following equations:

In Eqs. (25) and (26), lnd is the dynamic friction angle, gnd is the
dynamic normal rake angle, and fnd is the dynamic shear angle.

In Eq. (29), b0 is the drill helix angle. Finally, the resultant thrust
force for each element can be calculated as

The total thrust force can be found by adding all the elemental
thrust force components together.
3. Experimental apparatus
because of the length of the tool, vibrating the tool axially also
potentially increases tool wobbling. In this study, it is more
desirable to produce axial vibrations on the workpiece. While the
relative displacement between the tool and the workpiece
remains unchanged, this approach provides a simple design
solution and reduces the potential of tool wobbling. A customdesigned piezoelectric actuated vibration-assisted workpiece
holder was designed and tested for this purpose. Fig. 7 shows
the schematic and a photograph of the workpiece holder. Details
of the mechanical and electrical design of this hardware are
presented in Chapter 5 of [30].
3.2. Experimental setup
Experiments have been conducted to verify the accuracy of the
developed model. Each test was performed on a Makino MC565XA horizontal CNC machine tool, with the vibration-assisted
workpiece xture attached onto a table dynamometer, which was
attached onto the machine table. The vibration amplitude was
chosen to be 0.002 mm, while the vibration frequency was varied
from 4 to 12 kHz in 2 kHz increments. Note that the static stiffness
of a typical 5-axis horizontal machine center is 30 kN/mm [31],
and the weight of the machine table is 58 kg. At the magnitude of
the induced vibration force, the resultant vibration amplitude of
the machine table at the lowest testing frequency (4 kHz) is
2.76 106 mm, and therefore is negligible. The drills used were
4.0 mm TiN-coated standard twist drills. The cutting conditions
chosen were 4000 rpm spindle speed and 0.06 mm/rev drill feed.
The workpieces were 3.18-mm-thick Al 6061-T6 plates
(25 mm 25 mm). Four drilling experiments were performed for
each cutting and vibration conditions. Thrust forces were
measured using Kistler Type 9255B table dynamometer with
sampling frequency equal to 10 times the corresponding vibration
frequency to avoid aliasing. The dynamometer has a natural
frequency of 2 kHz and stiffness of 3000 kN/mm (Kistler Instrumente AG [32]). At the magnitude of the induced vibration force,
the resultant vibration amplitude of the dynamometer at the
lowest testing frequency (4 kHz) is 1.22 105 mm, and again
is negligible. The mean values of the thrust forces for each
cutting and vibration condition were calculated for subsequent
comparison with the mean values of the corresponding model
predictions.

A novel analytical thrust force model for VAD has been
proposed. Instead of modeling only the variation of dynamic
uncut chip thickness, the proposed model incorporates the
presence of plowing forces and the variation of shear strength
