Composite materials have gained increasing popularity over the past few decades due to their superior mechanical properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, fighting against high temperature and corrosion resistance. The assembly of enormous aeronautical components and structures require the machining of composite materials. Drilling is the most important hole-making process in the final assembly. When drilling composite materials, a number of defects are generating. Delamination caused by drilling thrust has been showed as one of the most problematic defects after drilling composite laminates. With a pressing need for decreased delamination, many studies are turning more and more toward tool geometry and machining parameters. Drilling of composite plates using a step core-ball drill, which is a special drill to improve the chip flow and reduces the thrust force at the exit of hole, is investigated in this study. The experimental results found that the step core-ball drill was efficient in drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and did not produce loading on the drill exit at the proper drilling conditions. The results obtained from this study feeding back for fundamental research efforts could steer future studies on the drilling composite materials in the most promising direction.

Abstract The present paper addresses the optimal layout of stiffened fiber composite plates (Fig. 1) considering buckling constraints; these plates are increasingly applied in many fields of engineering (air- and spacecraft technology, automotive industries, boatbuilding etc.). This particular area of structural optimization still requires substantial investigations into its fundamentals. The structural analysis alone for the treatment of this type of problems may increase to such a degree that the complete optimization process requires extremely long computation times due to the processing of a high amount of data, a fact that calls for the development of “intelligent” procedures in order to reduce the computation effort to a tolerable measure and to maintain reduplicability of the whole process. For this purpose, a so-called “constructive design model” is introduced.

Over the years, with the increasing development of engineering materials, the emergence of new composites, fiber metal laminated, biomaterials, metal alloys etc., and with demand for products less expensive, less polluting and more efficient, the manufacturing engineering also needs to develop to be able to process these new materials. Materials and tool geometries, intelligent mechanisms, modular machines, also follow this setting. To that end, this work comes to raise the main parameters that influence in the hole quality surface of finished product. Were used two polymeric materials, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), two feed rates, three rotations and three tool geometries, allowing to identify which of these parameters have greater influence on the thrust force and the characteristics of the finished product and dimensional deviation.

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the use of the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technique based on the concept of electromechanical impedance for the assessment of low-energy impact damage in laminated carbon-fiber composite plates. The experiments were carried-out by using an especially designed pendulum, and were planned in such a way to accommodate a range of test conditions, such as impact energy and dimension of the impacting piece. Also, it was investigated the influence of the frequency band in which the impedance functions are measured. Additionally, statistical metamodels were built aiming at establishing functional relations between the values of the damage metric and impact energy for single and multiple impacts. The obtained results demonstrate the capability of the monitoring method to identify various damage levels corresponding to different impact conditions.

Machining Conditions

In this study, the mechanical and machinability characteristics of chitosan (Cts)-filled polypropylene (PP) composites produced by injection molding method were analyzed. Uniaxial tensile, impact, hardness, and three-point flexural tests were used to observe the influence of Cts filler on the mechanical behavior of PP. For the machinability analysis of these materials, drilling experiments based on Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array were performed using different drill qualities and machining parameters. Then, machining conditions are optimized through grey relational analysis methodology for machinability characteristics such as thrust force and surface roughness obtained from drilling tests. The results showed that tensile, flexural strength, and percentage elongation decreased while impact strength increased with adding the Cts filler to PP. Moreover, it was determined that the tensile and flexural modulus of elasticity increased significantly and there was a slight increase in hardness. Thrust forces decreased while surface roughness values increased when the Cts filler ratio and feed rate was increased. The optimal machining conditions for minimizing thrust force and surface roughness was obtained as PP/10 wt% Cts material, uncoated tungsten carbide drill, feed rate of 0.05 mm/rev, and cutting speed of 40 m/min. In this regard, PP composite reinforced by 10 wt% Cts is recommended for industrial applications in terms of both the mechanical and machinability characteristics.
