The chip forming process during end milling of glass fibre reinforced composites has been investigated in this study. The qualitative results from a high speed video camera has showed that discontinuous and fracturing of ...

The optimisation of machining parameters for machine tools using the criterion of maximum productivity rate is not a new problem - many unresolved issues remain. The intensification of machining processes leads to changes ...

Machining is a mechanical process where excess material from a work is removed to produce a product. At the moment different ferrous, non-ferrous materials and industrial blue wax have been used for prototype models. ...

Optimization of the machining modes for machine tools by criterion of the maximum productivity rate is complex and in many cases an unresolved problem. Increasing of machining modes leads to change the productivity rate. ...

This article describes an experimental investigation on end milling of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites using uncoated tungsten carbide tool. A series of experiments were carried out to evaluate the ...

The use of end milling process for machining of fibre reinforced polymer composites has been widespread in various industries. Until recently, very little work has been reported with regard to characterisation of chip ...

Since the inception of their wide use in the 1960s, advanced composite materials such as Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have seen an exponential growth in application for various engineering fields. FRP composites ...

Complexity of the machining process, the nonlinear relationship between parameters, and the random variations of material properties make the prediction of tool life during machining of composite material a challenge. ...
