ABSTRACT
A number of parameters and an exhaustive material development and experimental procedure to determine the response variables like cutting forces, surface damage restricts the expensive experimental research. In this context, Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis can be used as a tool for the prediction of the various machining responses. A finite element analysis of the orthogonal machining of Uni-directional Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (UD-GFRP) laminates is presented in this study to understand the complex relation between fiber orientation, tool geometry, depth of cut on cutting forces and sub-surface damage.
