Drilling of Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRPs) is important to facilitate the assembly operations for geometrically intricate composite products manufactured in parts. The drilling induced damage often results in high rate of rejection and affects the long-term performance of the product with a drilled hole. The aim of the study is to develop a knowledge based tool that could provide a common platform for information regarding damage free drilling of FRP laminates. The code of the program, has been written in Developer C ++. The code developed as a part of this study saves valuable time of the researchers and scientists by providing a common platform for retrieving information regarding the drilling of FRP laminates. The code may further be designed into web-based software that can be used by the engineers and scientists worldwide.

Abstract


Drilling of Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRPs) is important to facilitate the assembly operations for geometrically intricate composite products manufactured in parts. The drilling induced damage often results in high rate of rejection and affects the long-term performance of the product with a drilled hole. The aim of the study is to develop a knowledge based tool that could provide a common platform for information regarding damage free drilling of FRP laminates. The code of the program, has been written in Developer C ++. The code developed as a part of this study saves valuable time of the researchers and scientists by providing a common platform for retrieving information regarding the drilling of FRP laminates. The code may further be designed into web-based software that can be used by the engineers and scientists worldwide.
