Tool Effects on Hybrid Laminates Drilling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibre reinforced plastics are increasing their importance as one of the most interesting groups of material on account of their low weight, high strength and stiffness. To obtain good quality holes, it is important to identify the type of material, ply stacking sequence and fibre orientation. In this paper, the drilling of quasi-isotropic hybrid carbon+glass/epoxy plates is analyzed. Two commercial drills and a special step drill are compared considering the thrust force and delamination extension. Results suggest that the proposed step drill can be a suitable option in laminate drilling. Key-words: carbon fiber, glass fiber, drill geometry, thrust force, damage, delamination, linear-elastic fracture mechanics, image processing and analysis

Drilling tool geometry evaluation for reinforced composite laminates
In this work, a comparative study on different drill point geometries and feed rate for composite laminates drilling is presented. For this goal, thrust force monitoring during drilling, hole wall roughness measurement and delamination extension assessment after drilling is accomplished. Delamination is evaluated using enhanced radiography combined with a dedicated computational platform that i...
متن کاملDamage Assessment of Drilled Hybrid Composite Laminates
Hole drilling operations are common in fibre reinforced plastics FRP’s to facilitate fastener assembly to other parts in more complex structures. As these materials are non-homogeneous, drilling causes some damages, like delamination, for example. Delamination can be reduced by a careful selection of drilling parameters, drill material and drill bit geometry. In this work two types of laminates...
متن کاملDrilling Damage in Composite Material
The characteristics of carbon fibre reinforced laminates have widened their use from aerospace to domestic appliances, and new possibilities for their usage emerge almost daily. In many of the possible applications, the laminates need to be drilled for assembly purposes. It is known that a drilling process that reduces the drill thrust force can decrease the risk of delamination. In this work, ...
متن کاملFuzzy Logic Modeling and Control for Drilling of Composite Laminates : Simulation
In drilling of composite laminates, it is important to minimize or reduce occurrences of delaminations. In particular, a peel-up delamination at entrance and push-out delamination at exit are common. Delaminations may be avoided by regulating the drill thrust force can be controlled by adjusting the feedrate of the drill. Dynamics involved in drilling of composite laminates is time varying and ...
متن کاملDrilling of carbon fibre reinforced laminates – a comparative analysis of five different drills on thrust force, roughness and delamination
The distinguishing characteristics of carbon fibre reinforced laminates, like low weight, high strength or stiffness, had resulted in the increase of their use during the last decades. Although parts are normally produced to “near-net” shape, machining operations like drilling are still needed. In result of composites non-homogeneity, this operation can lead to delamination, considered the most...
