In the manufacturing of composite materials, achieving high precision in drilling processes is crucial to ensure product quality and performance. This study investigates the influence of drilling parameters on key performance metrics delamination, circularity and cylindricity using the Taguchi method. An L25 orthogonal array was employed to systematically explore the effects of spindle speed, feed, and drill type on the quality of drilled holes. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that feed significantly influences the outcomes across all drill materials, with cutting speed playing a secondary role. The study further applied Desirability Function Analysis (DFA) to optimize these multi-responses, identifying the optimal parameter settings for each drill type. The results highlight the critical role of feed in minimizing delamination, circularity and cylindricity with the optimal settings offering significant improvements in drilling performance.

Abstract – The industry is currently experiencing a significant interest in biocomposites, largely fueled by the growing appeal of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs). These composites provide a range of advantages, including cost-effectiveness, biodegradability, environmental sustainability, and favorable mechanical properties. Consequently, the manufacturing processes of natural fiber reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites have attracted the attention of both industry professionals and researchers. The rise of these eco-friendly materials in the automotive and aerospace sectors has intensified interest in their production methods. However, the machining of NFRP composites presents considerable challenges due to the intricate structure of natural fibers, necessitating in-depth studies to effectively tackle these issues. This research paper offers a detailed examination of surface roughness during the milling process of Alfa/epoxy biocomposites. A total of 100 experimental trials were conducted to assess surface roughness. To develop a predictive model for this metric, a hybrid approach known as ANN-GA (artificial neural networks-genetic algorithms) is proposed. This method integrates ANN and GA to establish an optimal neural network architecture. The performance of the ANN-GA model is evaluated against the Levenberg– Marquardt backpropagation (LM) algorithm, with results indicating that the ANN-GA model provides superior accuracy in predicting surface roughness compared to the LM algorithm Keywords – Biocomposite, Alfa fibers, Surface roughness, Optimization, ANN.

Abstract This study presents a detailed analysis of the milling behavior of untreated and NaOHtreated composite samples at different fiber orientations (0° and 90°) using up milling and down milling techniques. A cubic regression model was employed to analyze the experimental data, demonstrating a good fit with high correlation coefficients of 0.90 and 0.91 for up milling at 0° and down milling at 90°, respectively, in untreated samples. This strong performance was also observed in NaOH-treated samples. Although other machining modes and orientations showed slightly lower correlation coefficients, the models remained statistically valid, as confirmed by the Fisher statistic exceeding the theoretical threshold at a 5% significance level. The results indicate that feed rate is the dominant factor, exerting a significant influence on normal and axial cutting forces, whereas the effect of cutting speed appears nearly negligible. Conversely, cutting speed has a more pronounced effect on feed force than feed rate, with the interaction between cutting speed and feed rate showing the highest statistical significance.

This study presents a method for modelling, predicting, and evaluating the impact of drill materials on the drilling process of hybrid palm/jute polyester composites, with the aim of enhancing hole quality regarding delamination, circularity, and cylindricity. Three drill materials, including High-Speed Steel (HSS), 5% Cobalt-coated High-Speed Steel (HSS-Co5), and Solid Carbide drills were tested, and their impacts on drilling performance were assessed. Through thorough experimentation and statistical analysis, significant differences in results were observed between HSS drills and both HSS-Co5 and Solid Carbide drills. However, the variation in results between HSS-Co5 and Solid Carbide drill results was minimal. Additionally, the findings highlight notable disparities among drill types concerning uncertainty. The results also indicate that feed rate, drill material, and their interaction play crucial roles in determining drilling efficiency. Specifically, HSS drills consistently outperformed HSS-Co5 and Solid carbide drills, demonstrating superior performance in minimizing delamination, improving circularity, and enhancing cylindricity along with lower uncertainty.

Uncertainty analysis is essential for estimating variability within specified tolerances, particularly in three-dimensional (3D) assembly tolerance analysis. This study introduces a novel analytical approach for assessing assembly deviations, integrating the Jacobian–Torsor model with the bootstrap technique. The Jacobian–Torsor model combines the efficiency of representing tolerances with the adaptability of the Jacobian matrix for their propagation. This computerized method, based on the unified Jacobian–Torsor approach, focuses on cam-clamping devices, specifically the fastening flange component. The novelty of this study lies in the application of the bootstrap technique, a Monte Carlo Simulation approach, for uncertainty analysis to estimate variability within specified tolerances. A comprehensive comparison of statistical methods—bootstrap, stratified sampling, Bayesian statistics, and analytical methods—demonstrates the advantages of the Bootstrap approach. The results emphasize its user-friendliness and precision, even with complex shapes. The primary aim is to highlight the utility of the unified Jacobian–Torsor method for tolerance analysis. An experiment involving the fastening flange assembly illustrates the practical application of this approach. The findings confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, demonstrating its accuracy and reliability for cam-clamping devices in real-world assembly scenarios with intricate geometries.

This paper rigorously examines drilling operations in a jute/palm fiber reinforced polyester composite (15% palm fibers, 15% jute fibers, 70% polyester resin, 9 mm thickness), emphasizing factors affecting hole quality. The hole quality was characterized by assessing circularity, cylindricity, and delamination. The key findings in- clude the identification of optimal cutting conditions, where a feed rate of 0.08 mm/rev and a spindle speed of 1592 rpm maximize circularity and cylindricity. Furthermore, a lower feed rate (0.04 mm/rev) to be optimal for minimizing delamination, circularity and cylindricity, underscoring the significance of precise adjustments. The influence of drill types is highlighted, with the High-Speed Steel twist drill emerging as the superior choice, demonstrating enhanced performance. The study also reveals the sensitivity of delamination to feed rate varia- tions, emphasizing its primary role in material damage. Cyclical trends in circularity and cylindricity are ob- served, with feed rate standing out as the predominant factor affecting precision.

This study investigates drilling-induced damage in hybrid composites, specifically examining the interplay between cuttingparameters and hole delamination. Three drill types—high-speed steel (HSS), 5% cobalt-coated high-speed steel (HSS-Co5),and solid carbide—are analyzed for their distinct impacts. The research underscores the substantial influence of feed rate androtational speed on delamination, noting that increased feed rates exacerbate the issue. Notably, HSS drills exhibit superiorperformance in mitigating delamination compared to other types. The study unequivocally demonstrates that operating theHSS drill at lower feed rates and rotational speeds significantly minimizes delamination, achieving remarkable results at afeed rate of 0.04 m/rev and 1592.35 rpm. While rotational speed’s consistent significance is limited, with the rotation speed2388.53 rpm, the delamination factor of the HSS drill recorded the smallest values with all the cutting conditions of the testscarried out. These insights emphasize the critical need for optimized cutting parameters when drilling hybrid composites,providing valuable guidance for engineering applications and materials science.

Currently, there is a notable attraction within the industry towards biocomposites, driven by the increasing fascination with natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs). These NFRCs offer remarkable benefits, including cost-effectiveness, biodegradability, eco-friendliness, and favorable mechanical properties. As a result, the manufacturing processes of natural fiber reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites have garnered attention from both industrial professionals and scientists. The emergence of these eco-friendly materials in the automotive and aerospace industries has sparked interest in understanding their production techniques. However, the machining processes of NFRP composites pose significant challenges due to the complex structure of natural fibers, necessitating thorough studies to address these issues effectively. This research paper presents a comprehensive investigation on surface roughness during the milling process of Alfa/epoxy biocomposites. A set of 100 experimental trials was conducted to test the surface roughness, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess the impact of cutting parameters and chemical treatment on surface quality. To develop a predictive model for surface roughness, a hybrid approach called ANN-GA (artificial neural networks-genetic algorithms) is proposed in this research. This approach combines ANN and GA to determine an optimal neural network architecture. The performance of the ANN-GA model is compared to the Levenberg–Marquardt backpropagation (LM) algorithm. ANOVA results show that the feed per revolution have a significant influence on surface roughness, followed by the chemical treatment of fibers, while machining direction has a smaller effect. The ANN-GA model demonstrates good accuracy in surface roughness prediction compared to the LM algorithm.

Nowadays, with regard to many environmental problems, the development of environmentally friendly materials such as natural fiber composites is a real alternative to synthetic fibers. They have many interesting advantages such as their availability, their low cost, their low density, their biodegradable character, their specific resistance properties and their low impact on the environment. The present paper is aimed at fabricating and machining of an epoxy composite material reinforced with Alfa (Stipa tenacissima L.) fibers. The full factorial analysis was used to assess the effect of cutting parameters such as cutting velocity and feed rate on the arithmetic roughness Ra of machined surfaces obtained by down milling and up milling operations. For this purpose, a two flutes high-speed steel (HSS) cutting tool was used. The results showed that the up milling mode provides better surface roughness than down milling mode for almost all machined specimens. The feed rate is the main factor affecting the surface roughness, with a contribution of about 90%. The worst values of arithmetic roughness were observed, at low feed rate (0.05 mm/rev) regardless of the cutting velocity. The results also showed that machining parallel to fibers direction (0°) offers better surface roughness than machining perpendicular to fibers direction (90°). Microscopic and SEM images show some defects such as matrix cracking, cavity, fibers breakage, loss of matrix, fluffing, and thermal damage.

Surface roughness plays a significant role in the performance of finished components. Hemispherical milling is usually used to achieve high surface quality, especially in components with complex geometries. However, the surface quality produced is strongly affected by the milling strategy chosen. Different milling strategies can be applied depending on the cutting conditions chosen for hemispherical milling. This paper investigates the effect of the milling direction on the surface roughness of a nickel-based superalloy. A single sweep finish milling parameter is tested using a hemispherical carbide tool. This milling operation was applied to a cylindrical surface segment of a support for horizontal positioning of a gas turbine blade in two distinct directions. A longitudinal direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the cylinder is first tested followed by a test in the transverse direction which covering the entire perimeter of the cylinder. In order to carry out a sufficient number of experiments to draw meaningful conclusions, a certain number of cutting parameters are tested including the extra thickness, the axial and radial pitch of the cut, the feed rate and tool diameters. The two milling strategies are considered and a mathematical model of the surface roughness is established and experimentally validated. Results show that milling along the longitudinal direction provides better roughness values compared to the transverse direction.

In the manufacturing industry, there are many types of parts with complex shapes that have various functions. Turbine blades are one of the most important components of gas turbines. However, these blades have complex shapes and irregular surface curvature which make them difficult to machine. The production of this type of parts is so complicated and requires high control of the machining process, advanced CNC programming, innovative tools and special fixtures to hold exactly and rigidly in a single position of the part during the machining. This work addresses the challenge of machining parts with complex geometry by developing and producing a dedicated machining fixture for holding a gas turbine blade. The first novelty of this work lies in the application of the method of Plückeriennes coordinates to choose the placement of the locator of parts of complex shape. The choice of the location of the locator during the fixture design process is made based on the maximization of the determinant and the minimization of the condition number of the location matrix (information matrix). The second novelty lies in the optimization approach used. The latest innovation is in the developed and manufactured machining fixture. The performances of the developed machining fixture in terms of repeatability of localization are evaluated on the basis of the concept of small displacement torsor (SDT). The results show the validity of the developed machining fixture.

In the manufacturing industry, there are several types of parts of complex shapes owning various functions. The turbine blades (buckets and vanes) are one of the most important components in gas turbines. However, these blades have complex shapes and irregular surface curvature which make them difficult to machine. Production of such kind of parts is so complicated and requires a high control of machining process, advanced CNC programming, innovative tools, and special fixtures allowing to maintain exactly and rigidly in a unique position of the part during machining. In order to enhance productivity and reduce operation time, thereby increasing parts quality, the machining fixture has to fulfill several requirements such as allowing a correct location with security and repeatability of the workpiece as well as maintaining conformity and interchangeability of the machined parts. This paper addresses the challenge of machining complex geometry parts by development and realization of a dedicated machining fixture (MF) for holding a mobile blade of a gas turbine. The first novelty of this work is in the application of the Plückerian coordinates method for choosing the locator’s placement of complex-shaped parts. The choice of the locator’s placement during the design process of the fixture is performed based on the maximization of the determinant and minimization of the condition number of the locator matrix (information matrix). The second novelty is in the optimization approach used. The last novelty is in the developed and fabricated machining fixture.
