Multi-Objective Optimization of Carbon-Glass Fiber Polymer Drilling Process Based on Fuzzy Grey Entropy Weighing MethodBy Purna Surendernath, P. Kasi V. Rao, M. V. Satish Kumar, M. Pradeep Kumar
Abstract: In recent years, the machining characteristics of hybrid fiber polymer composites have garnered significant research attention due to their growing industrial applications. This study specifically focuses on the drilling of hybrid carbon-glass fiber reinforced (CGFR) epoxy composites, fabricated using the hand layup technique. The key machining characteristics evaluated in this drilling process include surface roughness and circularity error. The influence of critical drilling process parameters, such as spindle speed, drill …

Effect of Hybridization on Tensile and Flexural Strengths of Carbon, Glass and Steel Fiber Composites: A Comparative StudyBy Purna Surendernath, Pothamsetty Kasi V. Rao, M.V. Satish Kumar
Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymer composites are widely recognized for their high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and design flexibility making them ideal for various engineering applications. Despite their numerous advantages, traditional composites possess significant limitations such as restricted mechanical performance under diverse loading conditions. To address this, hybrid fiber polymer composites are developed while enhancing material performance. In the present study, synthetic (carbon, glass) and metallic (steel) fiber reinforced composite materials …
