An innovative modeling approach to reduce the whirling in the lathe machine using houdaille is presented by introducing the system excitation in the form of cutting forces between the cutting edge head and the workpiece. Houdaille damper is placed on the workpiece to minimize the whirling motion as much as possible. This involves nonhomogeneous boundary conditions with homogeneous equations. The mathematical modeling approach enabled us to solve the problem by modal analysis by transforming the problem into nonhomogeneous equations with homogenous boundary conditions. The proposed approach enables us to reduce the whirling motion at different locations on the cutting edge-workpiece system by different percentages.
