Chatter in manufacturing system: Prediction and detection

Chatter is a phenomenon that periodically occurs in machining systems. Its occurrence in machining processes excites the tool and other elements of the machining system, creating "chatter marks" on the workpiece surface, which affects the quality of the machined surface and dimensional accuracy. An increased noise level is another indicator of the presence of chatter. These consequences have driven researchers and global companies to develop machining systems or software for their programming, aiming at the prediction, detection, and suppression of chatter in machining systems. A large number of mathematical models and software solutions have been developed and published in leading international journals. The topic of this paper is a review of the current state of research on chatter, with an emphasis on the methods and techniques for chatter prediction and detection in machining systems.
