Development of a thermally-assisted piercing (TAP) process for introducing holes into thermoplastic composites
Composite parts can be manufactured to near-net shape with minimum wastage of material; however, there is almost always a need for further machining. The most common post-manufacture machining operations for composite materials are to create holes for assembly. This thesis presents and discusses a t...
