Carbon fiber reinforced plastics are widely used in aerospace and aircraft industries because of their remarkable advantages such as lightweight and high strength. However, as their properties are different with metals, those materials are difficult to machine in conventional ways, the machining defects may appear and the machining accuracy and surface quality are difficult to guarantee. Oriented to drilling of carbon fiber reinforce plastics, a machining model based on finite element method are presented in this paper, the drilling simulation of carbon fiber reinforced plastics using Deform-3D are realized, and the factors which influence the machining quality of the hole are analyzed in-depth. It shows the simulation results are accord with the results from the literatures and experiments and can used as evidence in drilling parameters optimizing and drilling quality improving.

The interference-fit joint of composite laminates is widely used in assembly of thin-walled components in aviation product, but the interference percentage has a significant effect on squeezed damage which may reduce structural reliability. An investigation is conducted into the in-plane stress distribution and initial damage mechanism of symmetrical carbon fiber reinforced plastics laminates during the interference-fit bolt installation process. Considering the elastic deformation of the bolt, a general stress distribution model around the interference-fit joint is established with complex potential method. The initial damage mechanism of carbon fiber reinforced plastics laminates is characterized and critical interference percentages without damage are obtained with the mixed damage criteria. The effects of ply orientation and interference percentage on damage mechanism of each individual layer are discussed. Then, extensive finite element models with USDFLD subroutine of interference fit process are used to analyze and simulate the stress distribution and squeezed damage which are validated by strain measurement and micrographs by experiments subsequently. It is observed that theoretical solutions fall within the finite element results. The matrix tensile damage occurs first, and the critical interference percentages decrease from 1.10% to 0.85% with bolt diameters varying from 4 to 10 mm.

The Difference

The paper is concerned with increasing sensitivity of eddy current nondestructive testing of most dangerous delamination in carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP). Increased sensitivity is achieved by separate registration and comparison of eddy current signals obtained from a set of stratifications of carbon fibers with the same orientation. The separation of eddy current signals is possible due to pronounced anisotropy of the electrical conductivity of the layers dominant in the direction of the fibers of the corresponding layer. Eddy-current signals are registered by eddy current probes with maximum sensitivity in a given angular direction. Prior to the scan eddy current signals of the probe are leveled on a defect-free area. The influence of the working gap on the difference between the eddy current signals of the probe is suppressed by normalizing it according to one of the signals. The analysis of the registered signals from delamination has been performed using an approximate calculation model. The reliability of the obtained results has been confirmed by comparison with experimental results and calculations using the finite element method.

Aerospace, automotive and sporting goods manufacturing industries have more interest on carbon fiber reinforced plastics due to its superior properties, such as lower density than aluminum; higher strength than high-strength metals; higher stiffness than titanium etc. Rotary ultrasonic machining is a hybrid machining process that combines the material removal mechanisms of diamond abrasive grinding and ultrasonic machining. Hole-making is the most common machining operation done on carbon fiber reinforced plastics, where delamination is a major issue. Delamination reduces structural integrity and increases assembly tolerance, which leads to rejection of a part or a component. Comparatively, rotary ultrasonic machining has been successfully applied to hole-making in carbon fiber reinforced plastics. As reported in the literature, rotary ultrasonic machining is superior to twist drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastics in six aspects: cutting force, torque, surface roughness, delamination, tool life, and material removal rate. This paper investigates the effects of tool end angle on delamination in rotary ultrasonic machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics. Several investigators have cited thrust force as a major cause for delamination. Eventhogh, it is found on this investigation, tool end angle has more significant influence on the delamination in rotary ultrasonic machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics comparing to cutting force and torque.
