Abstract

In recent days the use of natural fibers has increased over synthetic fibers due to various advantages. The alkali treatment for these natural fibers further improves the adhesion between fiber and matrix and greatly enhances the mechanical properties of the composite. The present study involves the fabrication of a hybrid composite using the alkali-treated (5% NaOH concentration) natural fibers – Hemp &Grewia-optiva as reinforcement material and epoxy as a matrix material with a hand lay-up technique while maintaining the maximum fiber content at 12% of the composite. The drilling operation was performed on the fabricated hybrid composite to characterize the output parameters such as thrust force and torque while the input parameters are feed rate, cutting speed, and drill bit diameter. Further, the artificial neural network (ANN) approach was also adopted to predict and compare the thrust force and torque with experimental results. The results of experimental drilling parameters, predicted parameters with the ANN model, and a comparison of both are discussed in this paper. The results show a maximum error of 4% between the predicted and experimental values

Keywords: Feed, Thrust Force, Torque, Alkali Treatment, ANN.
