Milling chatters caused by the regenerative effect is one of the major limitations in increasing the machining efficiency and accuracy of milling operations. This paper studies robust active chatter control for milling processes with variable pitch cutters whose dynamics are governed by multidelay nonlinear differential equations. We propose a state feedback controller based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach that can enlarge multiple stability domains in the stability lobe diagram (SLD) while the controller gain is minimized. Numerical simulations of active magnetic bearing systems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
