Abstract
Composite materials present the advantage of being able to be specially designed for a particular application by combining appropriate reinforcement materials with a matrix material suited to withstand the operant conditions. The use of Hybrid-Fiber Composites (HFCs) addresses the need for greener manufacturing processes while also meeting product specifications in a wide range of applications, all for nominal prices. In order to improve our understanding of the machining processes compatible with HFCs, this paper presents findings from a study in which the effects of drilling on glass-flax-hemp fibre hybrid composite samples are observed and modeled. Pivotal parameters in drilling, namely drill bit diameter, spindle speed and feed rate are studied, and a fuzzy-logic inference system (FIS) coded in Python is used to model the thrust force and torque acting on the composite sample. A comparison between experimentally obtained and model-generated values of the same indicate very good correlation, thus verifying the effectiveness of the FIS.
