Slippage velocity

The subroutine calculates a set of fields that allows one to estimate the velocity of slippage in contact and its direction.

If subroutine is added for a workpiece, the slippage velocity of the workpiece surface relative to the tool surface is calculated.

If subroutine is added for the tools, the slippage velocity of the tool surface relative to the workpiece surface is calculated. The only fundamental difference is the direction of the velocity.

Components of the slippage velocity vector

The subroutine allows to estimate the velocity of tool slippage in contact with the workpiece without the need to calculate the stress state in the tool.
