英文摘要：

In recent years, with the development of the computational software and hardware technology, the finite element method （FEM） has become the main tool for simulating metal cutting processes. In this paper, the development of finite element analysis for metal cutting process is generally reviewed first, and some problems existing in 2- D and 3 - D finite element analysis for metal cutting process have been analyzed in detail.
