Quality Analysis and Investigation into Cutting Tool Breakage at Hindustan Machine Tools, Bangalore Complex (MBX)
Abstract: In today’s time, every industry tries to reduce its cost through possible ways and one of the main areas of concern would be equipment and tools. A look into the tool breakage at Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT), Bangalore Complex (MBX), has provided the project with considerable data to suggest improvement methods and ways in which they could reduce the cost incurred due to breakage. Only five departments incurring the highest …

Effect of machining parameters on the tool wear in drilling of 3D PF C/C composite
Abstract: Carbon–carbon (C/C) composites are broadly used in aerospace, defence, shipbuilding, chemical, and nuclear industries owing to their high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. However, they are brittle, anisotropic and non-homogeneous in nature, making them difficult to machine. Incorrect machining parameters can cause defects such as burrs, delamination, and fibre bundles pullout. This paper aims to study the hole surface and tool wear during drilling of 3D pierced fabric (PF) carbon-carbon (C/C) …

Fracture Analysis of Laminated composite plates using Extended Finite Element Method: A Review
Abstract: Laminated composite plates are used in aerospace, automotive, and marine industries. They feature great durability against fatigue, a high strength-to-weight ratio, and mechanical attributes that may be altered. However, they are prone to fracture and delamination under complex loading, requiring accurate fracture analysis for structural integrity. Traditional finite element methods (FEM) need extensive mesh refinement for modelling crack propagation which increases the computational costs. The Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) …

Hybrid Machine Learning and Finite Element Framework for Predicting Damage Behavior in Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have broad spread use in aerospace, automotive, marine and structural applications due to its high specific strength, stiffness and corrosion resistance. The various damage mechanisms such as matrix cracking, fiber breakage, delamination and interfacial failure, however, make the forecasting of damage particularly complex. In this work, a hybrid machine learning (ML) and finite element (FE) system is proposed for predicting the damage behavior of FRP …
