Abstract

India offered a biggest source of natural fiber like banana, rice husk, coconut and jute fiber etc. All the natural fiber has its unique advantages as well as mechanical properties which are very useful in the development of potential composites for various applications like transportation, automotive etc. There are various machining process in which drilling is most useful process for the assembly of different work pieces. During the drilling of composites it will undergo in the delamination process, which in turn reduces the strength as well as the efficiency of composites materials. In the present work drilling was carried out by using the various feeds (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm/rev), speeds (1000, 2000, 3000 rpm) and drill point angles (900, 1040, 1180) on the banana polyester reinforced composites. The delamination factor was measured by using machine vision system and digital image analysis. The mathematical model were developed using regression analysis to correlate the various machining parameters with the delamination factor and thrust force. Also the ANOVA has been used to found the effectiveness of the factors as well as their combinations. Optimization has been performed using the desirability function to find out the optimum machining condition for drilling of banana fibre reinforced composites.
