Effect of Drilling Parameters and Tool Diameter on Delamination and Thrust Force in the Drilling of High-Performance Glass/Epoxy Composites for Aerospace Structures with a New Design Drill.
Article in Polymers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Real service requirements of the assembly performance and joining properties of design components are critical for composite usage in the aerospace industry. This experimental study offers a novel and comprehensive analysis of dry drilling optimization for glass-reinforced, high-performance epoxy matrix composites used in aerospace structures, focusing on thrust force and delamination. The study presents a first-time investigation into the combined effects of spindle speed (1000, 2250, 4000 and 5750 rpm), feed rate (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm/rev) and tool diameter (3 and 5 mm) using a custom-designed drill tool specifically developed for this application, filling a gap in the current literature. By employing the Taguchi design of experiments, the study identified that medium spindle speeds (2250-4000 rpm), lower feed rates (0.2 mm/rev) and smaller tool diameters (3 mm) provided optimal conditions for minimizing thrust force and delamination. These results present actionable insights into improving the structural integrity and performance of drilled aerospace-grade composite components, offering innovative advancements in both the aerospace and defense industries.
