چکیده

Drilling-induced delamination often occurs both at the entrance and the exit of the workpiece during drilling of composite material. Investigators have studied analytically and experimentally that delamination in drilling can be correlated to the thrust force of the drill. With a pre-drilled pilot hole, the delamination can be reduced significantly. Early reference reported models of drilling-induced delamination, however, the effect of chisel edge length and pilot hole diameter on delamination is rarely discussed. The optimal range of chisel edge length with respect to drill diameter is derived in this paper.  2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
