FEM (Finite Element Method)-based numerical analysis model, which is known as CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) technology, has been adopted for the visual/mechanical analysis of machining process. The essential models for the FEM analytical model are the plasticity model of workpieces, friction model, and wear rate model. Usually, the outputs of the FEM analytical model are the cutting force, the cutting temperature, and chip formation. Based on these outputs, the machining performance can be virtually evaluated without experiments. Nowadays, there are emerging machining technologies, such as cryogenic assisted machining and CFRP machining. Therefore, FEM technique can be one of the good candidate to virtually evaluate emerging developed machining technologies.
