Article Experimental Comparative Analysis of Hole-Making Strategies and Cutting Parameters on Flexural Properties and Induced Delamination in S2 Glass and Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymers(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2026) Eltahir, Sara Saeed Abdulrahman; Yilmaz, Cagatay; Kesriklioglu, SinanOpen holes are often required in the applications of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). However, machining them leads to fiber and matrix damage, reducing the overall quality of composites. The novelty of this study lies in investigating the influence of multiple hole machining strategies under varying feed rates and cutting speeds on the flexural strength, chord modulus and hole quality for S2-Glass (S2-GFRP) and basalt fiber-reinforced polymers (BFRP), followed by three-point bending tests and statistical analysis to determine the optimum machining parameters in terms of flexural properties, delamination, and time efficiency. Findings indicate that conventional milling yields an increase in the flexural strength and chord modulus by 22.2 MPa and 1.9 GPa, respectively, for S2 GFRP. While climb milling performs best for BFRP, enhancing flexural performance by 7.6 MPa and 0.4 GPa. Direct drilling at high feed rate and cutting speed shows the poorest performance. Hole machining at low feed rate using climb milling minimizes delamination at the entrance by 14.8% for S2 GFRP and by 2.7% for BFRP using conventional milling. At the exit, helical milling at a low feed rate suppresses delamination damage by 58.5% and 10.7% for S2 GFRP and BFRP. The most time-efficient method is direct drilling at a feed rate of 0.075 mm/rev and cutting speed of 75 m/min or climb milling with same feed rate, but 25 m/min cutting speed. Within the tested ranges, the optimized drilling setup significantly improved structural performance of S2-GFRP and GFRP, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed experimental-statistical framework.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Influence of Basalt Aggregate Crushing Technology on Its Geometrical Properties-Preliminary Studies(MDPI, 2023-01-08) Duchnowska, Magdalena; Strzalkowski, Pawel; Bakalarz, Alicja; Kazmierczak, Urszula; Koken, Ekin; Karwowski, Piotr; Stepien, Tomasz; Strzałkowski, PawełThe use of mineral aggregates is related to the increasing demand in construction, railway and road infrastructures. However, mineral aggregates can appear to be of variable quality, directly affecting their suitability for respective earthwork applications. Since the production of mineral aggregates should ensure the standardized, high-quality requirements of the final product, rock-crushing mechanisms should be investigated in a detailed manner. In this context, the aim of the present study is to evaluate and analyze the geometric parameters of basalt aggregates as a result of several rock comminution processes. Basalt aggregates from two deposits in Poland were used in the study. The samples are differentiated regarding both lithological variances, mineral composition as well as the host rock's tuff content. The rock comminution processes were conducted using two types of crushers, namely the laboratory-scale jaw and cone crushers. The feed for crushing was designed based on the original geometric grain composition and the separated feed in the form of flaky and non-flaky particles. The crushability test results demonstrated that the interparticle compression in the jaw crusher resulted in finer products compared to the one in the cone crusher. It was also observed that the flakiness and shape indexes decreased after crushing, both in the feed with the original geometric composition of the grains and those with flaky and non-flaky particles. Nevertheless, a higher flakiness index was obtained after the crushing of non-flaky particles and a lower one after the crushing of flaky particles. The flakiness index for grains below 16 mm after the crushing process was less than 10%, which indicates a more favorable result compared to the original feed. In addition, it was shown that flaky and non-cubical particles were accumulated in the finest (below 8 mm) and coarsest (above 20 mm) fractions in jaw and cone crushing processes, receiving flakiness and shape indexes ranging up to 80-100%. Finally, it was also observed that the lithological variances of the feed material have a significant impact on the particle size distribution of the product. More profoundly, basalt aggregates with a higher tuff content and weathering degree have a higher degree of crushing. The present study, in this context, provides accurate and satisfying information on understanding the crushing mechanisms of two important crushing equipment as well as their rock-crusher interactions.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Experimental and Statistical Damage Analysis in Milling of S2-Glass Fiber/Epoxy and Basalt Fiber/Epoxy Composites(Wiley, 2024-07-30) Sayin, Ahmed Cagri; Danisman, Sengul; Ersoy, Emin; Yilmaz, Cagatay; Kesriklioglu, SinanS2-glass fiber reinforced plastics (S2-GFRP) and basalt fiber reinforced plastics (BFRP) have emerged as crucial materials due to their exceptional mechanical properties, and milling of composite materials plays an important role in achieving desired properties. However, they have proven challenges due to relative inhomogeneity compared with metals, resulting unpredictability in quality of milling operations. The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of cutting parameters, tool geometry and tool surface materials on the surface quality of composites using burrs as a metric. S2-GFRP and BFRP composites were produced by the vacuum infusion method. Helical and straight flute end mills were manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) and carbide rounds, and half of them were coated with titanium nitride using reactive magnetron sputtering technique. Taguchi L18 orthogonal array is used to determine the effect of tool material, tool angle, coating, cutting direction, spindle speed, and feed rate on the machining quality of S2-GFRPs and BFRPs with respect to burr formations. Milling experiments were conducted under dry conditions and then the burrs were imaged to calculate the total area and length. Statistical analysis was also performed to optimize the machining parameters and tool type for ensuring the structural integrity and performance of the final composite parts. The results showed that the selection of tool material has the most significant impact on the burr area and length of the machined surface. The novel image analysis allows to analyze the extent of the burr size with a desirable operation speed for industrial applications.
