Abstract

Abstract Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has strong sensitivity to temperature, as the stacking sequence is titanium alloy (Ti) to CFRP, the damage of CFRP is more severe due to the accumulation of cutting heat. In this study, a stress‐strain constitutive model of CFRP with the effect of thermal stress is proposed. On the basis, a simulation model of drilling Ti/CFRP stacks is established to explore the heat effect on the drilling damage. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the burr of Ti at hole exit is generally low due to the support of CFRP, and the burr height increases by 56.61% as the temperature rises from 182.02 to 355.69 °C. Besides, the intralaminar damage of CFRP is mainly caused by the fiber tensile failure and matrix tensile failure, and the matrix tensile failure is more affected by temperature. Moreover, delamination of CFRP decreases slightly with the reduce of drilling temperature. In addition, serious damage of CFRP on the hole wall usually occurs within the cutting angle of 90° to 135°, and pit defects can be reduced in a lower drilling temperature. Highlights A thermal effect stress‐strain constitutive model of CFRP is proposed. Ti/CFRP drilling model is developed based on the proposed constitutive model. Fiber and matrix tensile failure are main form of intralaminar damage of CFRP. Matrix tensile failure is more sensitive to temperature.
