【 摘 要 】

This paper addresses the problem of determining the minimum clamping forces that ensure the dynamic fixturing stability. The clamping force optimization problem is formulated as a bi-level nonlinear programming problem and solved using a computational intelligence technique called particle swarm optimization (PSO). Indeed, we present an innovative simulation methodology that is able to study the effects of fixture-workpiece system dynamics and the continuously change due to material removal on fixturing stability and the minimum required clamping forces during machining. The dynamic behaviour of the fixtured workpiece subjected to time-and space-varying machining loads is simulated using a forced vibration model based on the regenerative vibrations of the cutter and workpiece excited by the dynamic cutting forces. Indeed, Material removal significantly affects the fixture-workpiece system dynamics and subsequently the minimum clamping forces required for achieving fixturing dynamic stability.
