Tribology InternationalAbstract
The present study is focused on tribological and multiscale analysis for the machined surfaces of bi-directional flax fibers reinforced polypropylene composites. This is to track the multiscale effect of the helix angle of the cutting tool, related to its kinematic, on the cutting mechanisms. The results show that the helix angle has significant effect on the tribological performances which affect the tribo-contact interaction between the flax fibers and the cutting edge. The fibers orientation in the woven reinforcement has significant effect on the surface quality. The multiscale analysis reveals the pertinent scales that activate the helix angle effect.
