Introduction
A workpiece turning between centres during a high precision grinding
operation is shown in Figure 1. To a human observer this arrangement may
appear to be rigid, but when an infeed force is applied to the grinding
wheel an oscillatory force may exist. This is due to the cutting shear forces
and the elastic displacement of the materials of machine and workpiece.

Equation 1
Where:
M is Mass of the workpiece = 2.5 kg
B is the system damping constant (N/m s-1)
Ke is the effective stiffness constant (N/m)
f(t) is the infeed force that can vary with time (N)
Equation 1 can be written in a standard second order form, by dividing
through by Ke:
1/n2 (d2x/dt2) + 2/n (dx/dt) + x = 1/K f(t)
Where:
n is the natural frequency of the system (rad.s-1)
is the damping ratio
Equation 2
