Study on Cutting Mechanism of UD-GFRP Based on Fracture Mechanics

Abstract:

This document explained and demonstrated the crack growth of unidirectional glass fiber-reinforced composites (UD-GFRP) using the fracture mechanics theory during the process of machining. The models of fracture mechanics were established at antidromic cutting and direct cutting. The result is obtained that mode-I crack and mode-II crack transform each other during cutting and the complex crack is come into being. The propagation of complex crack makes the material fracture. The quality of machined surface at direct cutting is better than the quality at antidromic cutting.
