Abstract In order to reduce the delamination damage of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) drilling and improve the drilling quality. A variable feed drilling method based on sinusoidal curve was proposed, that is, when the drill at a distance of 1mm from the hole exit, the feed rate of the drill would be reduced according to the rule of sinusoidal curve. The method is compared with the traditional feed drilling by experiment, and the influence of the variable feed drilling on thrust force, delamination factor, surface quality, surface roughness of hole wall and exit hole wall morphology are analyzed. The results show that compared with constant-feed drilling, the variable-feed drilling based on sinusoidal curve reduces the thrust force near the hole exit, and greatly improves the delamination factor, surface quality and hole wall morphology at the exit. But the influence on the hole wall roughness is not particularly obvious.

Purpose This paper aims to attempt to use grey relational analysis (GRA) coupled with Taguchi technique for the optimization of machining parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and drill bit type) with multiple performance characteristics of delamination factor, surface roughness and circularity in drilling of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) along the fiber direction. Design/methodology/approach Machining trials involved drilling of 6-mm diameter holes on 8-mm-thick CFRP plates was performed according to L27 (313) Taguchi’s orthogonal array technique using the drill material of high speed steel (HSS), Titanium Nitride (TiN) and Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN). Analysis of variance has been used find the effect, percentage contribution and significance of the process parameters, namely, cutting speed, feed rate and drill bit type. Findings The Taguchi technique is combined with the GRA to find the optimum process parameter which minimizes the delamination factor, surface roughness and circularity within the range of parameters investigated. The effective implementation of the hybrid approach helps to produce quality and defect free holes. Originality/value Experimental investigation on delamination factor, surface roughness and circularity in drilling of CFRP along the fiber direction using Taguchi-GRA was seldom reported.

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.
