We observed the deformation and fractural phenomena of Aramid fiber during machining of A-FRP by microscopically. We can make deformation and fracture of fiber clear that is situated in the matrix in transmittal. When the fiber angle ? is 45 degree, Aramid fibers are strongly pressed and expanded widely towards the cutting direction and peel off under the machined surface during a cutting tool passes. After the tool passed, a deformed fiber remains as a fluff. Further, we simulated the phenomena with a very simple model to evaluate the deformation of fiber during machining. It is based on S.P. Timoshenko's theory of beams on elastic foundation. In our analysis, the modulus of the foundation is varied to prove the orientation of fiber. The calculated results have some coincides with experimental results.

MIKROSKOPSKO POSMATRANJE DEFORMACIJE I LOMA VLAKNA TOKOM MAŠINSKE OBRADE A-FRP
Mikroskopski smo posmatrali pojave deformacije i loma Aramid vlakna tokom mašinske obrade A-FRP. Jasna je ona deformacija i lom vlakna koja je smeštena u matricu u prenosu. Kada je ugao vlakna 45 stepeni, Aramid vlakna su snažno pritisnuta i široko rastegnuta u smeru sečenja, i ljušte se pod mašinskom površinom prilikom prelaska alatke za sečenje. Nakon prolaska alatke, deformisano vlakno postaje paperjasto. Pored toga, simulirali smo pojave pomoću veoma jednostavnog modela da bismo procenili deformaciju vlakna tokom mašinske obrade. On je zasnovan na S.P. Timosenkovoj teoriji poluga na elastičnom postolju. U našoj analizi, modul postolja menja se da bi se dokazalo usmerenje vlakana. Izračunati rezultati se u nekim slučajevima podudaraju sa sa eksperimentalnim rezultatima.
