Design analysis for thermoforming of thermoplastic composites
Prediction and machine learning-based optimization
The correct prediction of a composite parts’ final performance is of paramount importance during the initial design phase of the manufacturing process. To this end the correct evaluation of the most effective process parameters and their influence on the parts performance is k ...
Fibre metal laminates (FML) are hybrid materials perspective for wind-turbine, containers and marine objects, besides the aerospace industry. During the manufacturing process some faults can occur and can be hazardous for the reliability of FML structures. One of the most crit ...
Optimization of multistep forming process for thermoplastic composite parts
Process parameters and simulation
During the automated manufacturing of fibre reinforced laminates, defects can be produced. Gaps and overlaps between adjacent prepreg layers can be produced in composites during the tape-layup process. However, the topic is not yet studied for hybrid materials, in which metal ...
