Study On The Influence of Fiber Cutting Angle On Cutting Force In Ultrasonic Assisted Cutting CFRP Disc
Abstract Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is a new type of composite material that is widely used in the aviation field, the influence mechanism of fiber cutting angle on cutting force is analyzed, a theoretical model of ultrasonic assisted cutting force for CFRP is established, ultrasonic assisted longitudinal-torsional cutting experiments of CFRP disc are carried out, and compared with normal cutting process. According to the experimental results, the radar map of the cutting force along the circumference of CFRP unidirectional laminates is established, which show that the cutting force can be reduced by ultrasonic assisted cutting compared with ordinary cutting. Under the three cutting modes, the fiber cutting angle has a great influence on the tangential force, and the radial force of the same fiber cutting angle is less than the tangential force, the maximum radial force appeared near the fiber cutting angle of 120°, while the minimum tangential force and the minimum radial force both appear near the parallel direction cutting at 0°. The research results can be used for reference in the processing of CFRP and other composite materials.
