Analytical modeling of ultrasonic burnishing process: Evaluation of active forces

In our recently published work i.e. Teimouri et al. [25], mechanic of forces acting during burnishing process has been identified and fully discussed. The process was modeled based on slab method theorem and effect of burnishing parameters on horizontal and vertical forces were identified. However, the present work is an analytical approach to find effect of ultrasonic vibration parameters and pass number considering elastic rebound of work surface. In the proposed methodology effect of different parameters such as feed rate, ball diameter, depth of burnishing, vibration amplitude and pass number on the burnishing force. The comparison with experimental results allows to affirm that the model is a useful tool to predict the value of resultant burnishing force.
