Polymer-based composites (GFRP) are increasingly used in the mechanical industry due to their cost-profitability, durability, and good mechanical properties. In the present study, a metal carbide tool was employed to manufacture polyamide (PA66-GF30%) specimen in a dry environment. The impact of variations in cutting process parameters on the responses studied is investigated using two experimental techniques. The first is the OFAT approach. For the second technique (multifactorial), the effects of input parameters on technological parameters (Ra, Fz, MRR, and Pc) are quantified aided by the ANOVA method using an experimental design based on Taguchi’s L9 (3 × 3) orthogonal matrix. Based on the RSM methodology, the results were processed statistically to propose prediction models for the different outputs. In addition, a single-objective optimization study of Taguchi’s and a multi-objective optimization of the operating conditions using the classification method based on CoCoSo as well as the DF Approach according to two desired objectives were carried out. The first objective of this study concerns the minimization of (Ra, Fz, and Pc), and the second one considers the minimization of (Ra, Fz, and Pc) at the same time as maximizing (MRR). Finally, the surface roughness criteria (Ra and Sa) of PA66-GF30% were evaluated to study the effect of the feed (f) on the machined surface topography. The findings are of capital importance in that they provide the required and correct information about the working conditions of composite polymers. According to “OFAT” results, feed (f) is the predominant factor influencing roughness (Ra). Temperature in the cutting zone rises with increasing cutting conditions (Vc, f and ap). Variations in cutting conditions affect the morphology of the chip produced. The roughness criteria (Ra and Sa) results clearly show that the topography of the PA66-GF30% surface changes as (f) changes. Also, optimization of all performance parameters simultaneously indicates that the DFA offers the best combination of parameters: Vc = 187.50 m × min−1, f = 0.096 mm × rev−1, and ap = 0.866 mm, leading to the minimization of (Ra) and maximization of (MRR), with respective values of 1.24 µm and 15.614 cm3 × min−1. Furthermore, the CoCoSo method favors the minimization of (Fz and Pc) with values of 20.18 N and 69.285 W, respectively.

This paper presents research aimed at laboratory experiments on static and cyclic fatigue testing of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) recovered from post-consumer waste in order to develop a recycled product exhibiting satisfactory mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties. The results of the cyclic fatigue tests set up to 80% of the maximum load in static tensile testing demonstrated satisfactory functionality of the recycled material developed by using the injection molding process. There was no significant change in the tensile strength under static and cyclic fatigue tests. Under cyclic loading, there was a quasi-static effect manifested by plastic deformation, and the displacement increased significantly. The static and cyclic tensile tests indicated improvement in the mechanical performance of the recycled LDPE as compared to the virgin material, owing to the high quality of the regranulates. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was conducted to analyze the functional groups in virgin and recycled LDPE samples. The analysis showed no significant change in the transmittance spectra. The thermal degradation performance was also analyzed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The results were quite similar for both virgin and recycled LDPE.
