Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are heterogeneous and anisotropic
materials that do not exhibit plastic deformation. They have been used in a wide range of …

Cutting of sheet material is considered as an important process due to its relevance among
products of everyday life such as aircrafts, ships, cars, furniture etc. Among various sheet …

This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

Laser cutting is a promising alternative to the traditional methods in CFRP cutting. However,
laser cutting is based on thermal interaction that results in thermal damages of both matrix …

In the present work, laser cutting of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) is investigated
by means of a Quasi Continuous Wave (QCW) fibre laser. The adoption of high pulse power …

To investigate carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite processing, cutting
experiments are performed using a Nd: YAG laser. Both ultraviolet (λ= 266 nm) and infrared …

In this study, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites with three different fiber
orientation angles (M1:[0°/90°] s, M2:[+ 45°/− 45°] s, and M3:[0°/45°/90°/− 45°] s) were drilled …

In this review, we comprehensively examine the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)
trimming process, covering both conventional machining techniques and novel approaches …

In this experimental study, the effects of major laser process control parameters, such as the
laser power, beam scanning speed and assisting gas flow rate, on cut surface integrity …

Machining holes on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) components is a key process in
aircraft lightweight manufacturing. The picosecond laser “double rotation” cutting technique …
