Drilling of Polymer-Matrix Composites

This brief focus on drilling of polymer matrix composites for aerospace and defence applications. It gives an introduction to machining of polymer composites and discusses drilling as a processing of composites.

List of contents

Introduction.- Drilling of Composites.- Effects of drill points while drilling of composites.- Effects of drill points while drilling at high spindle speed.- Numerical prediction of the critical thrust force causing delamination at hole exit.- Effects of drilling parameters on mechanical strength.- Behavior of composite plates with drilled and molded hole under tensile load.
