Abstract
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites are heavily used for advanced structural applications owing to their special mechanical properties like high strength, corrosion resistance and slight weight, etc. The intrinsic characteristics of these materials generate several defects during machining such as fiber pull-out, matrix crack and burr. The understanding of the machining operation of these materials are essential to eliminate the workpiece damage and to achieve a good surface quality. In this work, the effect of the fiber orientation angle and the cutting speed on the chip formation mechanisms has been analyzed. For this reason, a finite element model with equivalent homogeneous material (EHM) was developed using Abaqus/Explicit code. A hashin criterion was adopted to predict the damage of CFRP. The results revealed that the numerical and experimental findings are in good agreement. The fiber orientation angle and the cutting speed have a notable effect on the chip formation mechanisms.
