Description du projet/ Project
Description
This project involves the development of
analytical modelling and simulation
tools, combined with novel, optimized
tooling and manufacturing techniques for
the cost-effective use of compression
molding in the design and manufacture of
aerospace structures.
Objectifs/ Objectives
The main objective of this project is to
develop analytical tools for the design,
analysis and manufacturing for
compression moulding for aerospace
structures. More specifically, suitable
materials must be identified and
partially characterized in order to
establish a database of properties that
can be compared to autoclave processed
composites. Existing models for
compression moulding will be evaluated
for the selected material systems. The
simulation tool must include prediction
of local fibre orientation, part
distortion and must be integrated with
the structural design software. Optimum
processing conditions and cure cycles
must be determined and verified for flat
and semi spherical geometry with
increasing draw ratio. A suitable
representative sub component will be
identified and tested in order to assess
the production costs and structural
properties using compression moulding
technology. Finally, non-destructive
evaluation tools must be developed to
measure part porosity and local fibre
orientation.
