The new developed carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates are widely used in main structural components of big commercial aircrafts. Generally drilling is the final operations in manufacturing structure, which is the most important operation during assembly. Defects such as burrs and delamination always appear in the process of drilling, which makes it hard to control the drilling quality. In this research, the drilling defects of T800 CFRP laminates are evaluated by using a brad point drill and a multifacet drill in terms of drilling forces, burr defect and delamination detection. The results show that the spindle speed is the most significant factor affecting the delamination defect followed by the feed rate. High speed drilling and low feed rate could improve the surface quality and reduce the delamination. The multifacet drill showed excellent drilling performance than the brad point drill and generated smaller defects.

The paper studies the characteristics of eddy current (EC) distribution in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates so as to guide the research and operation of eddy current testing of CFRP. To this end, an electromagnetic field computation model of EC response to CFRP based on the finite element method is developed. Quantitative analysis of EC distribution in plies of unidirectional CFRP reveals that EC changes slowly along the fiber direction due to the strong electrical anisotropy of the material. Variation of EC in plies of multidirectional CFRP is fast in both directions. The attenuation of EC in the normal direction in unidirectional CFRP is faster than that in isotropic material due to faster diffusion of EC. In multidirectional CFRP, EC increases near the interfaces of plies having different fiber orientations. The simulation results are beneficial to optimizing sensor design and testing parameters, as well as damage detection and evaluation.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are widely used all over the globe as a repair and strengthening material for concrete elements. This paper looks at comparison of numerous methods to rehabilitate concrete beams with the use of CFRP sheet strips. This research work consists of 4 under-reinforced, properly cured RCC beams under two point loading test. One beam was loaded till failure, which was considered the control beam for comparison. Other 3 beams were load till the appearance of initial crack, which normally occurred at third-quarters of failure load and then repaired with different ratios and design of CFRP sheet strips. Afterwards, the repaired beams were loaded again till failure and the results were compared with control beam. Deflections and ultimate load were noted for all concrete beams. It was found out the use of CFRP sheet strips did increase the maximum load bearing capacity of cracked beams, although their behavior was more brittle as compared with control beam.
