Abstract

As result of the increasing environmental awareness, the interest of bio-composite materials is growing rapidly in the last years in order to use them in various engineering application fields.For some of these applications, drilling is often required to facility the assembly of the parts and to make final products. However, drilling can induce a number of problems such as delamination, pull-out and strength reduction depending on the used cutting tools and cutting process parameters that can negatively affect the final product properties.Therefore, in order to reduce these problems on hemp/epoxy composites the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of both the drilling parameters and tools on the drilling forces and delamination factors.
