The effects of local fibre steering
Reducing gaps and overlaps by compensating for tow width fluctuation in automated fibre placement
The aerospace industry increasingly uses fibre-reinforced plastics that are manufactured using automated fibre placement (AFP). A common problem in AFP is the occurrence of gaps and overlaps that affect the structural perfromance of laminates. Tow width fluctuation is an importan

This master thesis focuses on developing an integrated system capable of performing ultrasonic phased array measurement on composite parts in an automated fashion. This could potentially be used in the manufacturing process of fiber laminate composite parts to obtain more accu- r

The versatility of automated composite technologies granted the possibility of manufacturing laminates with a continuous variation of fiber orientation, also known as Variable Stiffness Laminates (VSL). Despite offering enough dexterity to be adapted for composite deposition, ind
