Popis: Composite materials, such as aluminum alloy FGMs, provide advantageous weight reduction properties compared to homogenous pure structures while still preserving sufficient stiffness for diverse applications. Despite various research on drilling simulation concepts and ideas for these materials, there still needs to be an agreement on the process modeling. Researchers have looked into a lot of different numerical methods, including Lagrangian, Eulerian, arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE), and coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL), to find solutions to problems like divergence issues and too much mesh distribution, which become more of a problem at higher speeds. This research provides a global analysis of bottom-up meshing for eleven 1 mm layers using ABAQUS® software. It combines the internal surface contact approach with the Lagrangian domain’s kinematic framework. The model uses the Johnson–Cook constitutive equation to precisely predict cutting forces, stress, and strain distributions, optimizing cutting parameters to improve drilling performance. According to Taguchi analysis, the most favorable parameters for reducing cutting force and improving performance are a rotational speed of 700 rpm, a feed rate of 1 mm/s, and a depth of cut of 3 mm. The findings suggest that increasing the feed rate and depth of cut substantially affects the cutting force, while the rotational speed has a comparatively little effect. These ideal settings serve as a foundation for improving FGM drilling efficiency.
