Abstract
In this study, the griding machine bed was designed and analyzed by using epoxy-granite. Finite element technique was employed to design and analyze the composite bed structure. Von Mises stress and relative displacements between a tool and a workpiece were checked to compare a cast iron bed structure with a composite bed structure. Dynamic features of structures were also studied according to the process of modal analysis through natural frequency and mode shape measurement. Another improved model was also designed using the accumulation of knowledge based on the use of the structural analysis and experiments. Comparing with the cast iron bed structure, the composite bed structure maintains better functions.
