CHALLENGES FOR THERMOPLAST-AUTOMATED FIBER PLACEMENT (TP-AFP) WITH IN SITU CONSOLIDATION ON 3D PARTS

Andreas Kollmannsberger (Technical University of Munich) Elisabeth Ladstätter (Technical University of Munich / Institute for Carbon Composites) Klaus Drechsler (Technical University of Munich / Institute for Carbon Composites)

 

Based on an optimized 2D steady-state process this paper focuses on describing the differences for 3D lay-up on v-shaped tools with a rounded corner. Test specimens with different leg angles are manufactured and tested according to ASTM 6415.

CHARACTERISTICS AND PROCESSABILITY OF BINDERED DRY FIBRE MATERIAL FOR AUTOMATED FIBRE PLACEMENT

Laura Veldenz (National Composites Centre) Mattia Di Francesco (National Composites Centre) Simon Astwood (National Composites Centre) Giuseppe Dell'Anno (National Composites Centre) Byung Chul Kim (University of Bristol) Kevin Potter (University of Bristol)

 

A wide variety of dry fibre materials is available, the five examined materials show different behaviours in manufacturability. The use of the analytical hierarchy process enables a structured and purpose specific material selection.

EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF GAPS AND OVERLAPS CAUSED BY INTRA-PLY SECTORIZATION IN THE THERMOPLASTIC AUTOMATED FIBER PLACEMENT PROCESS

Thomas Zenker (Fraunhofer ICT) Christian Schuerger (Fraunhofer ICT)

 

Gap and overlap configurations were analyzed experimentally for the thermoplastic AFP-process in terms of preform surface homogeneity and influence on the layup of subsequent plies. Post-consolidation fiber angle distribution was investigated.

MAXIMIZING THE OUT-OF-PLANE PERMEABILITY OF PREFORMS MANUFACTURED BY DRY FIBER PLACEMENT

Oliver Rimmel (Institute for Composite Materials) David Becker (Institute for Composite Materials) Jens Mack (Institute for Composite Materials) Peter Mitschang (Institute for Composite Materials)

 

Within this study influences on the out-of-plane permeability were investigated. The considered parameters were related to the material (e.g. binder amount) as well as the layup process and subsequent process steps.
