The Frequency Response Function (FRF) at the tool-tip is an important input for machining dynamics prediction, but its measurement is a time-intensive process. The receptance coupling technique offers a faster alternative, suitable for industrial applications where there is experimentally identified receptance matrix at machine-tool holder interface containing enough degrees of freedom to allow connection with various compliant tools modeled using finite element analysis (FEA). The presented approach to the technique further develops simplification of the inverse RCSA by using a single artifact proposed by Montevecchi, presenting a simpler and more general mathematical formulation of the receptance matrix identification. The study also looked into how simplifying tool models affects their accuracy and performance in FEA, aiming to find a good balance between detail and efficiency. To prove the proposed technique, thorough tests on two dynamically different machine tools were conducted with various tool geometries.
