Cutting chatter has been a very important issue in the milling operations due to its unexpected and uncontrollable characteristics. Developing an effective healthy condition monitoring method is critical to identify cutting chatter exactly. In this paper, a hybrid healthy condition monitoring (HHCM) method, that combines variational mode decomposition (VMD) with genetic algorithm-based back propagation neural network (BPNN) model, is developed for cutting chatter detection and state classification in complex and non-stationary milling operations. First, cutting chatter vibration signal is decomposed into multiple mode components by the VMD. Then, Shannon power spectral entropy is adopted to extract features from decomposed vibration signals. Furthermore, BPNN model is optimized by traditional genetic algorithm to identify and classify machine states in milling operations. Last, impeller milling experiments are conducted and results show that the proposed HHCM method can effectively realize cutting chatter detection and state classification during milling operations.
