Multi-objective optimization in machining of GFRP and MMC composites: two case experimental research

Abstract

Composite materials like GFRP and MMCs having more importance in various manufacturing industries mainly in aerospace and automotive industries and many engineering application, because of their unique mechanical properties as compare to the conventional material. Drilling is the most common machining process in manufacturing industries for assembly of components but drilling of composite may possesses many difficulties such as fiber pull out, delamination and circularity etc. which affects the quality of drilled hole. To overcome these difficulties the effect of machining parameters on different machining responses should be investigated for attaining high product quality as well as satisfactory machining process performance. Therefore, the main objective of this dissertation is to investigate the various machining performance characteristics with different machining condition in drilling of GFRP and MMCs composites by using various integrated multi objective optimization methodologies. In this presented thesis, Deng’s similarity method integrated with Taguchi, TOPSIS integrated with Taguchi method (in drilling of GFRP composite) and PCA-Grey method integrated with Taguchi, Grey-TOPSIS Integrated with Taguchi method (in drilling of MMCs), have been implemented for obtaining the optimal machining conditions
