  • Avaliação de ferramentas na furação de laminados compósitos
    Publication . Gonçalves, Daniel J. S.; Durão, Luís M.; Albuquerque, Victor Hugo C. de; Tavares, João Manuel R. S.; Baptista, A. P. M.
    The development of cutting tools becomes a challenge to the industry of composite materials to obtain high quality holes, minimizing damage. This work aims to examine the influence of various parameters such as feed rate and tool geometry on thrust forces developed during drilling operations and on the extent of damage. In this work, a comparative study of tool geometry with the aim of reducing the associated damage during drilling process is presented. In the end a good combination of tool geometry and drilling parameters based on experimental work will be presented.
  • Drilling tool geometry evaluation for reinforced composite laminates
    Publication . Durão, Luís M.; Gonçalves, Daniel J. S.; Tavares, João Manuel R. S.; Albuquerque, Victor Hugo C. de; Vieira, A. Aguiar; Marques, A. T.
    In this work, a comparative study on different drill point geometries and feed rate for composite laminates drilling is presented. For this goal, thrust force monitoring during drilling, hole wall roughness measurement and delamination extension assessment after drilling is accomplished. Delamination is evaluated using enhanced radiography combined with a dedicated computational platform that integrates algorithms of image processing and analysis. An experimental procedure was planned and consequences were evaluated. Results show that a cautious combination of the factors involved, like drill tip geometry or feed rate, can promote the reduction of delamination damage.
