Abstract
The present study investigates the effect of multiple dynamic absorbers on both regenerative chatter and forced chatter. The stability lobe of the regenerative chatter with considering the effect of the intermitting cutting is obtained by the time domain analysis. It is shown that the resonance caused by the forced chatter, at the spindle speed of the local maximum of the chatter stability lobe, can be controlled by the dynamic absorbers. Furthermore it is made clear that the dynamic absorbers have a significant suppression effect on not only the regenerative chatter but also the forced chatter.
