Drilling carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs) is typically cumbersome due to high
structural stiffness of the composite and low thermal conductivity of plastics. Resin-rich areas …

This work focuses on develo** a 3D progressive damage model (PDM) to predict drilling-
induced damage and its effect on the load-carrying capacity of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) …

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the one-shot drilling (CFRP) strategy for
machining CFRP materials in the assembly of aircraft components, focusing on key factors …

A new approach is presented to convert X-ray microcomputed tomography (μCT) image data
of as-manufactured fiber-reinforced microstructures into high-fidelity finite element (FE) …

Burrs generated in the drilling process of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) can
cause delamination, therefore significantly reduce the bearing capacity of the components …

Thin-walled carbon/carbon (C/C) composites are a typical difficult-to-machine material due
to the characteristics of thin walls, low stiffness, and high strength. In this paper, three …

Challenges in the mechanical drilling of fiber-reinforced polymers arise from their
heterogeneous and anisotropic behavior, which results in drilling-induced damages such as …

This study develops and validates a three-dimensional continuum damage mechanics
(CDM) model to predict crack paths in a lamina, focusing on the influence of fiber orientation …

As a new machining method, ultrasonic-assisted bi-direction helical milling has obvious
advantages in making holes on carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP). However, cutting …

Workpiece damage generated during conventional drilling (CD) of carbon fibre reinforced
plastics (CFRP)(such as delamination, matrix cracking, fibre pull out etc.) results in reduced …
