Journal Article
Kahwash, F., Shyha, I., & Maheri, A. (2017). An Investigation into the Dependency of Cutting Forces on the Volume Fraction and Fibre Orientation during Machining Composite Materials. Materials Science Forum, 882, 61-65. https://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/MSF.882.61

This paper presents an empirical force model quantifying the effect of fibre volume fraction and fibre orientation on the cutting forces during orthogonal cutting of unidirectional composites. Glass fibre plates and high speed steel cutting tools are...

The Element-Free Galerkin method (EFG) is a prominent member of the meshfree methods family. In this work, EFG is utilised to simulate the orthogonal cutting process of unidirectional composites. The mathematical model is derived from the weak form o... Read More about Meshfree formulation for modelling of orthogonal cutting of composites.
