Abstract: Satisfying the quality requirement of products in multistage machining processes (MMPs) is significant and challenging nowadays. In spite of the success of the stream of variation (SoV) theory in variation propagation modelling for MMPs, the absence of elastic deformation variations could be an important factor that limits its application in variable stiffness structure (VSS) workpieces. To this end, a generic variation propagation framework in MMPs for VSS workpieces is established, incorporating the induction and propagation of elastic deformation variations. Region division strategy is adopted according to the characteristics of VSS workpieces, and the analytic solutions of elastic deformation in different regions are solved by contact theory and elastic theory. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model are verified by a six-stage machining process on a four-cylinder engine block, and the proposed model is compared with the conventional SoV model resulting in a significant improvement on quality prediction.
