According to the properties of cutting chatter, a new chatter forecast system has been developed based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). This system uses HMM as the recognition method and SVM as the prediction method. At the same time, means like wavelet package decomposition are also employed to extract the cutting features. The basic idea and general steps of this method are as follow. Firstly, the cutting signals are analyzed step by step in the same interval using wavelet packet decomposition. Secondly, the energy in every spectrum section are calculated and sc...
