Abstract: The main affecting parameter for Delamination of the composites and in turn the failure of composites is the Thrust force. In the present work an attempt has been made in order to investigate the Thrust force generated during drilling of the TiO2 and ZnS filled Glass Fabric Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites (GFRP). The volume fractions in the matrix were chosen as 1, 2 and3%. A plan of experiments, based on the techniques of Taguchi, was performed to acquire data in a controlled way. An L27 orthogonal array and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed to investigate the influence of process parameters on the drilling of these composites. Drilling has been conducted on a radial drilling machine. Speed of drilling (S), volume fractions (VF) and drill tool diameter (D) were considered as the varying parameters with three levels. Thrust force has been considered as the output parameter and is been measured in each combination of parameters chosen. Results reveal that, the addition of filler will increase the thrust force developed during drilling. As per ANOVA values, drill tool diameter contributes more towards generation of thrust, followed by speed of drilling. Main Effect plots shows that, contribution of speed towards thrust generation is only upto a certain level of increase in speed.
