Abstract: Sandwich composites, wherein the skin and core fulfills the requirement of different properties, like in foam sandwich structure, foam is providing damping and skin provides rigidity to the structure. In this work a sandwich panels with foam core and glass/polyester skin is fabricated by vacuum infusion technique. Abrasive water-jet drilling of these materials is performed to study the effect of standoff distance (SOD), Water Jet Pressure (JP) and Traverse Rate (TR) on kerf taper and surface roughness and Material Removal Rate (MRR). The experiment is designed using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. The ANOVA is done to study the influence of input parameters on output. It is found that SOD is the most influencing parameter on the kerf taper and surface roughness.
