Although new generation carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) such as polyetherketoneketone (CF/PEKK) is a promising sustainable alternative to the conventional thermoset plastic (CFRP), there lack of literature regarding its machining performance. This first study unveiling temperature evolution during drilling CF/PEKK and potential impact on associated material damages. Through comparative with CF/epoxy, disparate performance two composites has been uncovered, results were found be...
Here, we report the first study on hole making performance of thermoplastic carbon fibre/polyetherketoneketone (CF/PEKK) composite. Different methods (conventional drilling vs. helical milling) have been compared and effect different feed rates has investigated. The thermal-mechanical interaction resulting damage elucidated for time fibre reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs) making. In material science dimension, advanced characterization techniques deployed to reveal removal mechanisms at...
Carbon-fibre-reinforced-polyetherketonketone (CF/PEKK) has attracted increasing interest in the aviation industry due to its self-healing properties and ease of recycle repair. However, machining performance CF/PEKK is not well understood there a lack optimization study for minimizing hole damage improving production efficiency. Here, we report first multi-objective drilling. A hybrid algorithm integrating Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) Techniques Order Preference by...
The global commitment towards reducing carbon emissions drives the implementation of sustainable carbon-fibre-reinforced-thermoplastic composites (CFRTPs). However, machining CFRTPs presents challenges due to material’s ductile-brittle composition and sensitivity machining-induced high temperatures. For first time, we conducted temperature-controlled orthogonal cutting CFRTP (using CF/PEKK as a demonstrator) unveil its temperature-dependent physics. Three representative temperatures, 23 ℃...
The layered structures exhibit a weakly singular stress state in the vicinity of free edges, attributable to elastic mismatch adjacent plies, thereby promoting delamination. In present study, this so-called edge effect is investigated for symmetric angle-ply laminates framework Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM). For given intrinsic properties, such as fracture toughness and strength, computation interlaminar stresses energy release rate imperative evaluation coupled FFM criterion. These...
