Miami University received a $200,000 Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), awarded July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2028. The project addresses fundamental challenges in machining additively manufactured carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites by investigating the mechanics and tribology of tool-workpiece interactions during cutting operations. Research deliverables include experimental studies utilizing in-situ imaging, machining tests, and pin-on-disc tribology experiments, complemented by numerical modeling to predict stress, temperature, and material response during cutting. The work will develop and evaluate sustainable cooling-lubrication strategies tailored to mitigate machining challenges introduced by additive manufacturing's layer-by-layer deposition, fiber orientation variations, and in-fill structure differences. The project will generate intellectual capital advancing the integration of additive and subtractive manufacturing processes for CFRP components applicable to aerospace, automotive, and defense industries. Concurrent with research activities, the award supports workforce development through training of undergraduate and graduate students in experimental methods, modeling, and simulation tools in advanced manufacturing. The work is performed in Oxford, Ohio, at Miami University's research facilities.Federal Grant Award Summary
