Abstract
The purpose of the present work is to develop a simple and economical method of punching and forming processings of intractable AFRP(aramid fiber reinforced plastics)laminated composites by improving conventional press working technique.An aramid plate is tightly restrained around the formed region as well as the bottom of the plate, and subsequently it is punched by a specially designed hollow punch.The present improved technique of press working named strong restraining shear processing(SRSP)has led to an excellent processing of intractable AFRP composites, which has never been achieved by any other technology such as water jet cutting or vibration press.
