Abstract
In this study, the effects of delamination factor on strength of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite with +45/-45 orientation angle fabrics were investigated. GFRP composite specimens, which contain 36% fiber volume, were produced by hand lay-up. The all specimens were prepared according to ASTM D5766-2002 standards. The experiments were conducted the different drilling parameters such as cutting speeds and feed rates using tungsten carbide (WC) and Brad Spur drill tools. Delamination factors of drilled specimens were determined by optical microscope. The tensile strength values of the drilled GFRP composite specimens were determined by universal tensile testing machine. As results, it was determined that the increasing cutting speed and feed rate increased the delamination factor. The strength of GFRP composites decreased with increasing delamination factor .
