Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Machining

Abstract

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) matrices have gained widespread traction across diverse industries for their exceptional attributes and lightweight nature, outperforming traditional materials and alternative composites. Consequently, the study of machining these composite matrices has gained significant attention. This review aims to establish robust physical and statistical models, opening avenues for optimizing the machining of polymer matrix composites. Encompassing various machining aspects, including crucial variables and criteria, the synthesis notably focuses on refining surface finish and cutting force dynamics. Curated from acclaimed scientific literature, this review provides an exhaustive overview of the prevailing landscape and intricate nuances inherent to FRP machining. The gleaned insights are poised to steer future empirical endeavors and refine precision cutting models.
