Model of vibration in drilling into fibre-reinforced composite materials
A model of the dynamic drill characteristics while drilling through fibre-reinforced composite materials (FRCMs) is investigated in this study. Anisotropic and inhomogeneous materials such as FRCMs, which are used to improve product quality, make it possible to improve production rate and avoid drill breakage. Such materials were used to study the dynamic characteristics of the drilling process. A theoretical analysis model for drilling composite materials is proposed. A pre-twisted beam is used to simulate the drill. A moving Winkler-type elastic foundation is used to approximate the drilling process time-dependent boundary. Numerical analysis indicates that the vibration amplitude changes significantly as the drill moves through composite material.
