Research Opportunities in Machining of Composite Material Composite material is a macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials, with a noticeable interface between them. Composite materials are extending the horizons of designers in all branches of engineering, and yet the degree to which this is happening can easily pass unperceived. Composite materials offer high strength, stiffness and toughness, good fatigue and impact resistance, good thermal and electrical conductivity, and good corrosion and wear resistance. These materials have wide applications in aerospace, transportation, construction and marine sectors, sporting goods and infrastructures. Advanced composites are optimized to achieve specific properties for special applications. These materials have balanced structural properties superior to either constituent material alone. Composites typically have a fiber or particle phase reinforced on relatively soft continuous matrix phase. Most of the reinforceme
