Accurate prediction of cutting process parameters is very important for achieving high-efficiency and chatter-free milling process. In this paper

the methods

principles

simulation algorithms and engineering applications of dynamic modeling for milling process are reviewed. First of all

the modeling methods of cutting process are classified into four categories: empirical method

analytical method

FEA method and mechanical method. And its characteristics are analyzed. Secondly

the static cutting force model and dynamic cutting force model are introduced in detail

and their respective application occasions are given. Thirdly

the principles

advantages and disadvantages

and applicatio conditions of several typical stability analysis of milling process are compared

which can be used as theoretical basis for selecting suitable stability analysis method. Lastly

two common used surface topography prediction methods for milling process are introduced. Conclusions of above-mentioned analysis can be used as theoretical guidance for further researches or engineering applications in the field.
