Delamination in Drilling of Natural Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites Produced by Compression Moulding

Article Preview

Abstract:

Natural fibre composites today are replacing synthetic fibre composites due to superior properties of natural fibres such as low density, high specific strength and modulus, relative no abrasiveness, ease of fibre surface modification, and wide availability .Drilling is often required to facilitate the assembly of the parts to get the final product. however, drilling composite materials present a number of problems such as delamination associated with the characteristics of the material and with the used cutting parameters .The present investigation is an attempt to study the factors and combination of factors that influence the delamination of drilled unidirectional jute fibre reinforced composites using taguchi, signal to noise ratio, Anova analysis and to achieve the conditions for minimum delamination.
