However, due to large strains in a process zone, leading to increased element distortions, such simulations are confronted with numerical difficulties. Smooth-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a mesh-free computational method, which has been used to simulate multi-body problems. In this paper we present a 3D hybrid modelling approach for orthogonal micro-machining of a copper single crystal with the use of SPH and continuum FE. The model is implemented in a commercial FE software ABAQUS/Explicit. The study is used to gain insight into the effects of crystallographic anisotropy on the machining response of f.c.c. cubic metals. %I Loughborough University
