Our researchers visited Prof Carlos Alexandre Bento Capela (Dean, pictured right) and Dr Joel Vasco (researcher, pictured left) at the School of Technology and Management of Leiria University, Portugal. They discussed the novel findings and results concerning our Portuguese-Hungarian Bilateral Science and Technology project. The main objective of the project was to develop borehole machining technologies for CFRP composites. The main results can be found in the following publications:
- Pereszlai, Geier, Poór, Balázs, Póka: Drilling fibre reinforced polymer composites (CFRP and GFRP): An analysis of the cutting force of the tilted helical milling process
- Poór, Geier, Pereszlai, Xu: A critical review of the drilling of CFRP composites: Burr formation, characterisation and challenges
- Pereszlai, Geier: Comparative analysis of wobble milling, helical milling and conventional drilling of CFRPs
- Geier, Pereszlai, Poór, Balázs: Drilling of curved carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite plates
- Geier, Póka, Pereszlai: Monitoring of orbital drilling process in CFRP based on digital image processing of characteristics of uncut fibres
- Geier, Szalay, Davim: Advanced cutting tools and technologies for drilling carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites: A review
- Geier, Szalay, Takács: Analysis of thrust force and characteristics of uncut fibres at non-conventional oriented drilling of unidirectional carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (UD-CFRP) composite laminates
During the visit, not only the discussion of the ongoing scientific project was on the agenda, but also the definition of the main directions of future cooperation. The project team of the BME Department of Manufacturing Science and Engineering was represented by Dr Norbert Geier, Dr Zoltán Balázs Barnabás and Dániel István Poór. The short visit was supported by the 2018-2.1.15-TÉT-PT-2018-00012 project.
