  AI-Driven Prediction of Square-Hole Laser Trepanning Performance in AA7075/15%SiC/15% Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites Using Taguchi–ANOVA and Deep Neural Networks

  By Parthiban K., Pazhanivel K., Dinesh S., Ganesh Kumar A., Arul M., Sharmila S.

  Abstract: Hybrid AA7075 composites reinforced with 15% silicon carbide (SiC) and 15% glass fiber were fabricated via the stir casting technique to improve machining and structural performance. The addition of dual reinforcements into the aluminum matrix was aimed at enhancing hardness, thermal stability, and surface quality during non-traditional drilling operations. Square-hole drilling was performed using a laser trepanning process, and the key responses—hole size accuracy, surface roughness, and taper angle—were systematically …

  Recent Developments in Hybrid and Nanostructured Basalt Fiber Composites: A Review of Mechanical and Processing Innovations

  By Rathinam V., Ganeshkumar A., Arul M., Dinesh S., Adinarayanan A., Ida G.

  Abstract: This review delivers a critical analysis of recent advancements in basalt fiber-reinforced hybrid composites (BFRHCs), emphasizing their transformative potential for advanced structural and high-performance applications. Basalt fibers, derived from volcanic rock, exhibit superior tensile strength, excellent thermal stability, and chemical resistance, offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional glass and carbon fibers. Hybridization of basalt fibers with synthetic (e.g., carbon, glass) and natural fibers (e.g., flax, hemp) results in …
