Researcher | Synthetic fiber | Matrix | Operating parameters | Findings |
Tsao and Hocheng [90] | Carbon fiber | Plastic | · Diameter ratio · Feed rate · Spindle speed | · The highest thrust force was by decreasing diameter ratio, spindle speed, and increasing feed rate · Lowest thrust force recorded when diameter ratio and spindle speed increased while decreasing feed rate |
Khashaba, El-Sonbaty [93] | Woven Glass fiber | Epoxy | · Feed rate · Spindle speed · Drill diameter | · Increasing the cutting feed rates increased the thrust force · Higher thrust forces were obtained with a bigger diameter. |
Tsao and Chiu [19] | Carbon fiber | Plastic | · Spindle speed · Cutting velocity · Feed rate | · Cutting velocity and feed rate have the most impact on thrust force |
Krishnaraj, Prabukarthi [96] | Carbon fiber | Plastic | · Spindle speed · Feed rate | · Thrust forces increased with an increase in feed rate · Thrust forces decreased with an increase in spindle speed |
