ABSTRACT
Bone is the infrastructure of the human body, it provides a rigid framework that offers protection and support, as well as attachment sites for muscles that are essential for locomotion and movement. Bones are living, metabolically active and growing soft fibrous material that has dense connective tissues. Healing of bone and sustainability of joints will depend upon the drilling parameters, i.e. rotational speed, drill diameter, feed rate, drilling force, temperature generated, microcracks in bone, etc. The most significant process parameters reported can be broadly categorized into two major groups, which are drilling parameters and drill specifications. Gupta et al. varied rotational speed and feed rate for investigating the microcracks generated during drilling of porcine bone. Sui and Sugita studied the effect of different geometries of drill bit, rotational speed and feed rate on the thrust force and torque induced during the drilling of bovine and swine femur bone.
