Summary
A finite element modeling of machining of glass fiber reinforced plastics is developed for better understanding of the cutting mechanism. In the modeling, the fracture of both the glass fiber and the polyester matrix during machining is taken into account. A stress criterion is applied to the fracture of the fiber, while a modified strain criterion is applied to the fracture of the matrix. The influences of both the fiber direction angle and rake angle on the cutting mechanism are investigated.
