Finite-element-based Structural Optimisation of Weak Components in Machine Tools: A Critical Appraisal of Weakness Identification, Modelling Assumptions and Validation Practice
Junnan Hu · Advances in Research · 2026
Machine tool accuracy, productivity and dynamic stability are constrained less by the average stiffness of the frame than by the behaviour of a small number of comparatively compliant elements within it. Finite element (FE) analysis has become the standard instrument for locating...
