摘要
Delamination is represented to be the most prevalent failure in composite structures. The use of composites in the manufacturing sector plays a very important role in the industry in general. Moreover these materials have unique characteristics when analyzed separately from constituents which are a part of them. In this paper, a partially ecological composite was made, using natural fibers as reinforcement (bamboo fiber), in the polyester resin matrix to form a composite, seeking to improve the mechanical behavior among its class of materials. The characteristics of a composite material are determined by how it behaves while machining, Drilling is the most predominant machining process because of its cost effectiveness when compared with other processes. Obviously delamination is the major problem that is focused by many researchers while selecting drilling as the machining process in polymeric composites. This research mainly emphasizes on the critical parameters by varying its speed, feed, and diameter of the cutting tool, their contribution to delamination was analyzed. Reduced delaminations were identified by varying the speed and feed rate. © 2013
