Summary: The aim of this research work was to develop a method to predict drilling-induced burrs in chopped CFRPs based on digital image processing. By determining the fiber orientation of visible chopped fiber groups and predicting burr-dangerous regions based on the local properties of chopped fibers, the method enables the estimation of burrs without machining experiments in chopped CFRPs.

Summary: Aramid fiber-reinforced plastic (AFRP) composites, widely used in aerospace, rail transit, marine and military industries, are difficult-to-machine due to their high tensile strength and toughness, low interlaminar strength, non-uniformity and anisotropy. This research investigated the use of ultra-thin diamond dicing blades for high-speed cutting of AFRP composites. The results showed that smooth surfaces without common cutting damages can be obtained, allowing for precision cutting of AFRP composites.

Summary: This study predicts the tool wear progression in milling unidirectional (UD) CFRP components by using a deep learning model based on a multi-channel 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM). The model takes into account the fiber orientation effect and achieves high prediction accuracy with R-2 of 95.04% and MAE of 2.94μm. It outperforms other commonly used data-driven methods, including 1DCNN, 2DCNN, LSTM, BPNN, and SVR, with an improvement of over 25%.

Summary: In this study, the friction coefficient of AFRP composites was determined under various conditions, with high friction forces negatively affecting wear and leading to more prominent wear traces. Oxidation, fatigue (thermal), and delamination wear were found to be effective, as an increase in load resulted in higher forces on the samples.

Summary: This study established an impact resistance design method for steel fiber-reinforced porosity-free concrete beams strengthened with aramid fiber-reinforced polymer sheets using static and impact loading tests. The study showed that the maximum deflection under impact loading can be estimated using the load-deflection curve calculated under static loading, and demonstrated a performance-based impact resistance design concept using the tensile strain in the AFRP sheet as a performance index.

Summary: This paper investigates tool wear of high-speed steel twist drills in ultrasonic vibration-assisted drilling of CFRP and compares the wear behaviors with conventional drilling based on experimental observation. The introduction of UVAD effectively reduces tool flank wear, with increased feed rate and decreased spindle speed leading to decreased tool wear. The findings may provide guidance on cutting parameter selection for extending tool life in UVAD of CFRP.

Summary: This study explores the retrofitting of reinforced concrete beams with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) or carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). The results show that UHPC increases the ultimate load of the beams by 35% and their displacement by 26.8 mm, making it a better choice in terms of toughness and economic benefits.

Summary: Driven by environmental concerns and sustainability issues, researchers have developed novel composite structures in various industries. This study focuses on designing and manufacturing aramid and basalt fiber reinforced polymer hybrid composites as an alternative to carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Different fiber ratios and stacking sequences were used to examine their effect on mechanical characteristics. Test results showed that tensile strength was dependent on fiber ratio and sequence, with CFRPs having the highest tensile strength. Impact test results revealed that basalt/aramid fiber hybrid composites had higher energy absorption capability compared to CFRPs. Additionally, increasing basalt fiber ratio increased water absorption capacity, while using aramid fiber in the upper layer decreased ignition loss and increased hardness values. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed weaker fiber-matrix bonding in hybrid samples compared to CFRPs.

Summary: This study investigated the characteristics of using crude palm oil (CPO) directly in a common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engine. The results showed that increasing idling speed leads to earlier combustion, and adding CPO to diesel fuel reduces in-cylinder pressure and maximum heat release rate. Moreover, adding CPO to diesel fuel can reduce emissions.
