Abstract:Hole quality in composite materials is gaining interest in aerospace, automotive, and marine industries, especially for structural applications. This paper aims to investigate the quality of holes performed without a backup plate, in thin plates of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). The samples were manufactured by two different technologies: vacuum bagging and an innovative method named vacuum mold pressing. Three experiments were designed choosing the control factors that affect the maximum cutting force… Show more
