Abstract

Virtual simulation and optimization of the dynamic behavior of machine tools in the development phase is required to satisfy the increasing demands on machine tool performance. While mass and stiffness properties can be simulated with sufficient accuracy, often no suitable damping models are available for the components of machine tools. The commonly used linear damping models are predominantly linear hysteretic or viscous models. However, the linear damping models are often not appropriate to reflect the occurring nonlinear effects in machine tools with the required accuracy. The reason for these nonlinearities are predominantly the friction forces in feed drive components. To resolve these deficits, the friction in feed drive components is comprehensively investigated in this paper, models for friction forces are identified and coupled with a reduced, flexible multi-body system. With the identified friction models the measured friction curves can be reproduced very precisely. The coupled, reduced, flexible multi-body model allows to simulate the nonlinear effects and to predict the dynamic behavior of machine tools with high accuracy. Consequently, a further important step towards accurate virtual simulation of machine tools is made.
