Induction welding is an effective technique for joining unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites and L-joints can be produced through quick and cost-effective processing steps. However, due to high localized stresses in the skin-stiffener interface, these L ...
This master thesis research investigates the possibility to repair carbon fiber thermoplastic aircraft
structures using induction welding. Carbon fiber is conductive and heats up when placed inside an
alternating magnetic field. A generator, coil, and pressure frame are n ...
The usage of carbon-fibre reinforced composite materials in the aerospace industry has been steadily increasing due to their light weight solution with respect to their metal counterparts. Using thermoplastic resins gives rise to induction heating as a joining technique. Inductio ...
