Investigation of Drilling of Glass Fiber Reinforced Composite

Abstract

Delamination is one of the most critical failure modes that occur during drilling of composites. The work was to analysis the influence of delamination during drilling by varying different factors affecting the hole quality and to find out the optimum drilling factor. The co relational analysis has been carried out using ANSYS software. The optimum values have been determined by taking account of the relationship between von misses stress, equivalent stress. The finite element analysis has been done by using Ansys 16.0 software which helped to find out the optimum values of drilling.
