Hole Integrity Of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites Using Combined Punching And Drilling Techniques

The use of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been increased in recent year in many industries, mostly in automotive, aircraft and marine structures due to strength to the weight ratio, better fatigue life, corrosion resistance and tailored-made properties. One of major advantage is that structu...
