TOOLING OPTIMIZATION FOR COMPOSITE MATERIAL PARTS

Alberto Mazarro (FIDAMC) Aquilino Garcia (FIDAMC)

 

This Project studies manufacturing process optimization for complex composite materials parts trying to reduce costs. Springback effect and tooling thermal behaviour are taken into account to design an optimal tool and curing cycle.

VISUALISING PROCESS INDUCED VARIATIONS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF TUFTED SANDWICH PANELS

Emily Withers (University of Bristol) James Kratz (University of Bristol) Ian Hamerton (University of Bristol) Carwyn Ward (University of Bristol)

 

This paper presents the development of a test bed which permits observation of loop formation during tufting. Needle insertion force data were obtained which along with the visual analysis aids understanding variation caused by the process.

OPTIMISING HIGH-THROUGHPUT, AUTOMATED PREFORM PRODUCTION WITH NON-LINEAR SIMULATION OF THE PICK AND PLACE PROCESS FOR TECHNICAL FABRICS

Christian Doersch (Fraunhofer IWES ) Harsha Tummala (Fraunhofer IWES ) Oliver Bagemiel (Fraunhofer IWES)

 

Handling of textile blanks and cuttings for the production of composites is still complex. To reduce complexity in development of such handling processes there has been set up a digital tool to simulate and calculate optimal pick-up locations.

CONTINUOUS TAPE LAYUP MOLDING OF CFRTP USING NEAR-INFRARED HEATING AND HIGH FREQUENCY INDUCTION ROLLER HEATING

Daiki Tanabe (Osaka University) Fumio Kubohori (Kindai University) Shota Imamura (Kindai University) Hongfei Jiang (Kindai University) Kazuaki Nishiyabu (Kindai University) Tetsusei Kurashiki (Osaka University)

 

This study aimed to predict the optimum processing condition for thermoplastic tape laying. It was found that the near infrared heating was required for removing the moisture contained in prepreg tape.

INFLUENCE OF LAYUP SPEED ON THE QUALITY OF THERMOPLASTIC PREFORMS MANUFACTURED BY LASER-ASSISTED AUTOMATED FIBRE PLACEMENT

Mattia Di Francesco (National Composites Centre) Mario Valverde (University of Bristol) Carwyn Ward (University of Bristol) Peter Giddings (National Composites Centre) Giuseppe Dell'Anno (National Composites Centre) Kevin Potter (University of Bristol)

 

Automated Fibre Placement of carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastics at high deposition rate is possible, but for a constant nip-point temperature process the preform quality varies with the layup speed.
