Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In high speed milling, interrupted cutting conditions can lead to period doubling chatter vibrations. While many studies have already confirmed that the use of helical tools can effectively shrink or remove these regions of unstable cutting, none of them has provided clear guidance to select the minimum helix that completely cancels the period doubling lobes. This study addresses this gap by introducing a novel analytical formula for a critical tool helix pitch: if the helix pitch is below the critical flip depth of cut of the straight helix cutter multiplied by π, the flip lobes will totally vanish. This rule is not only valuable for chatter-free process planning purposes, but it also establishes exact limit below which the fast and simple zeroth order stability algorithm can provide exact stability boundaries for helical tools. The effectiveness of the formula is numerically corroborated over three different milling scenarios: thin wall milling, slender tool and machine tool structure chatter cases. Finally, the findings are validated through experimental cutting tests.
