Abstract
 

The use of fiber reinforced plastics has increased manifold over the last few years. Generally developed for aerospace and other high end applications, composites are now making inroads into the automotive and general engineering market. Thus good quality and cost effective manufacturing of FRP composites becomes imperative. Drilling holes is an important machining operation to ascertain the assembly in intricate composite sections. The research endeavors in the field of composite materials have focused on to check the laminate fail or not during drilling operation by using various composite failure theories. The theoretical results of failure theory results are found in good agreement with the FEA results
