I am new to this site so this would be my first thread, hope to get some valuable answers.
For a few day I've been trying to find some way to calculate the average depth of cut during milling (surface), the calculation to get the maximum depth of cut during milling is widely known. (Some of you may also know the formula of "average depth of cut=maximum depth of cut/2"; however, I haven't come up with the origin of this approximation other than sources like this:
Compr. Handbook of Mechanical Engineering - Dr. J. Srinivas - Google ブックス
In this regard, I came up with an mathematical approximation by simplifying the contact area into the segment of a circle and finding the average height from the chord to any point in the arc length(variables used: arc length, sagitta and chord). Even though that I know the arc length and the sagitta (maximum depth of cut) from a previous research, my approximation tends to crash if divided in several sections or changing the mathematical value of the tool radius for the real value of the tool radius (not very useful for heat propagation simulation I want to create).
As a consequence, I'd like to know if anyone knows about the origin of the formula I mentioned or an alternative way to calculate the average depth of cut during milling.
Hope this is the place to post this inquiry,
