Abstract
Glass fiber-reinforced composite materials are used in varieties of applications due to their excellent properties. Drilling is an indispensable process for this kind of materials. Delamination due to drilling is an important concern and is to be reduced. In the present work, drilling tests were carried out on computer numeric control (CNC) drilling machine. The parameters considered for the drilling investigations were spindle speed, feed rate and diameter of the drill bits. Multiple regression analysis is used for the modeling of process parameters in drilling of GFRP composites. Taguchi's S/N ratio analysis and desirability-based approach are used for the optimization of process parameters for studying the delamination in drilling of GFRP composites. The results revealed that the factor feed rate and drill diameter are the most influential parameters which affects the delamination in drilling of GFRP composites. The interaction between the parameters also affects the delamination in drilling of GFRP composites.
