Abstract
Real service requirements of the assembly performance and joining properties of design components are critical for composite usage in the aerospace industry. This experimental study offers a novel and comprehensive analysis of dry drilling optimization for glass-reinforced, high-performance epoxy matrix composites used in aerospace structures, focusing on thrust force and delamination. The study presents a first-time investigation into the combined effects of spindle speed (1000, 2250, 4000 and 5750 rpm), feed rate (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm/rev) and tool diameter (3 and 5 mm) using a custom-designed drill tool specifically developed for this application, filling a gap in the current literature. By employing the Taguchi design of experiments, the study identified that medium spindle speeds (2250-4000 rpm), lower feed rates (0.2 mm/rev) and smaller tool diameters (3 mm) provided optimal conditions for minimizing thrust force and delamination. These results present actionable insights into improving the structural integrity and performance of drilled aerospace-grade composite components, offering innovative advancements in both the aerospace and defense industries.
期刊介绍:
Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Polymers provides an interdisciplinary forum for publishing papers which advance the fields of (i) polymerization methods, (ii) theory, simulation, and modeling, (iii) understanding of new physical phenomena, (iv) advances in characterization techniques, and (v) harnessing of self-assembly and biological strategies for producing complex multifunctional structures.
