Abstract

Self-healing materials heal partially or completely when damage occurs to restore the functionality of the material. Self-healing technology has found its applications in sensors, supercapacitors, solar cells, fabrics etc. Self-healing GFRP specimens were fabricated by embedding microcapsules filled with dicyclopentadiene monomer in glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin. Drilling experiments were conducted on self-healing GFRP panels comprised of varied quantities and sizes of microcapsules under different drilling conditions to find the effect of adding microcapsules in the material on the drilling characteristics. Thrust force and temperature variations during drilling were studied, and it was found that that the microcapsule concentration in the composite had marked effect on both the measured outputs. Genetic multiobjective optimization was employed to obtain the optimum pareto values to determine the optimum thrust and temperature.
