Modern aircraft should ensure reduced fuel consumption as well as reduced CO2, NOx, and noise emission. To achieve these goals, airframe, engine design and manufacturing technology improvements are necessary. This implies the need to employ lightweight materials for airframes and engines and advanced turbine materials for discs and blades. The most widely used advanced high strength alloys for airframes are aluminium alloys, aluminium-lithium, aluminium-magnesium-scandium, titanium alloys and lightweight composite materials like Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP), Carbon or Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (C/GFRP), and Titanium Metal Matrix Composites (TiMMCs). For aircraft engines, metallic materials like Inconel 718, Udimet, Allvac, Aramid, Ti6Al4v and Ti-6246. These materials also have great potential for application in the automotive and biomedical sectors. After consulting the industry (Pratt&Whitney, RTI and Bombardier), with this discovery grant, we will focus on evaluation of two materials: Titanium Metal Matrix Composites (TiMMCs) and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Our preliminary research and a literature review give us the opportunity to define a working hypothesis: 1. It is possible to increase the entire tool life by at least 20% by appropriate control of initial cutting conditions and initial tool wear. 2. Part performance in service can be predicted more accurately using new surface roughness analysis methods and parameters better adapted to composite materials (CFRPs), namely using fractal analysis. 3. Tool life estimations can be improved using survival analysis, fractal analysis, and tool wear monitoring based on pattern recognition and Logical Analysis of Data. The concept of analyzing initial cutting conditions, initial cutting tool wear, and their impact on entire tool life during machining (TiMMCs) and (CFRPs) has never been studied before. Our preliminary works also show that the application of chaos theory and fractals for analysis of initial cutting conditions and surface roughness is very promising. The theory of fractals has already proven highly effective in many engineering and technology applications. This new philosophy can dramatically change research methods in machining. This involves a thorough analysis of the initial parameters of the machining process. Consequently, the originality of this work lies in the use of chaos theory and fractals as an approach to understand cutting tool wear and generate new, meaningful surface roughness parameters for plastics containing fibers (CFRPs). This new approach can also greatly improve the diagnosis and monitoring of cutting tools and the optimization of cutting parameters. We do not claim to revolutionize machining theory but we intend to bring to light a new perspective for the analysis of machining processes.

现代飞机应确保减少燃料消耗以及减少二氧化碳、氮氧化物和噪音排放。为了实现这些目标，必须改进机身、发动机设计和制造技术。这意味着需要采用轻质材料制造机身和发动机，采用先进的涡轮机材料制造轮盘和叶片。最广泛使用的先进高强度合金是铝合金、铝-锂、铝-镁-钪、钛合金和轻质复合材料，如纤维增强塑料（FRP）、碳或玻璃纤维增强聚合物（C/GFRP）和钛金属基复合材料（TiMMC）。对于航空发动机，金属材料如Inconel 718、Udimet、Allvac、Aramid、Ti6 Al 4v和Ti-6246。这些材料在汽车和生物医学领域也具有巨大的应用潜力。 在咨询行业（普惠、RTI和庞巴迪）后，利用这项发现资助，我们将重点评估两种材料：钛金属基复合材料（TiMMC）和碳纤维增强聚合物（CFRP）。我们的初步研究和文献综述使我们有机会定义一个工作假设： 1.通过适当控制初始切削条件和初始刀具磨损，可以将整个刀具寿命提高至少20%。 2.使用新的表面粗糙度分析方法和更适合复合材料（CFRP）的参数，即使用分形分析，可以更准确地预测零件的使用性能。 3.使用生存分析、分形分析和基于模式识别和数据逻辑分析的刀具磨损监测可以改善刀具寿命估计。 分析初始切削条件，初始切削刀具磨损及其对加工过程中整个刀具寿命（TiMMCs）和（CFRPs）的影响的概念以前从未被研究过。我们的初步工作也表明，混沌理论和分形的应用分析的初始切削条件和表面粗糙度是非常有前途的。分形理论已经在许多工程和技术应用中被证明是非常有效的。这种新的理念可以极大地改变加工的研究方法。这涉及到对加工过程的初始参数进行全面分析。因此，这项工作的独创性在于使用混沌理论和分形作为一种方法来理解切削刀具磨损，并产生新的，有意义的表面粗糙度参数的含纤维塑料（CFRP）。这种新的方法也可以大大提高诊断和监测的刀具和切削参数的优化。我们并不声称要彻底改变加工理论，但我们打算揭示一个新的角度来分析加工过程。
