Zero-defect manufacturing of composite parts in the aerospace industry (ZAero)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

In the aerospace industry very high quality standards have to be met. For the manufacturing of carbon fibre parts this is currently solved through extended end-of-line inspection in combination with re-work processes to deal with defective parts. Also, in-situ visual inspection is used for quality control, which is currently causing huge productivity losses (30%-50%) during lay-up and has become a ...

Boltless assembling Of Primary Aerospace Composite Structures (BOPACS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

"The main challenge of the BOPACS project is to reduce the weight and costs of primary aerospace structures by developing bolt free adhesive bonded joints that comply with the airworthiness requirements.Until today thin walled composite primary aerospace structures are joined by using a large number of fasteners. Bolt free joining would considerably contribute to the weight and cost reduction of a ...

"Development of a rapid, multifunction, automated gap filler device" (NOGAP)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) has been identified as a key technology to contribute to the reduction of emissions in aircraft transport. However, the stringent NLF surface requirements are difficult to be reached with conventional manufacturing processes. The aim of NOGAP project is to develop a fully automated gap filler device that is able to performance in a 3D environment and achieve surface fin ...

Optimal tooling system design for large composite parts (OPTOCOM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"The general objective of the project is to smartly handle the overall process of the composite integrated parts production reducing costs in two ways. First, by adequately simulating the spring back produced after the curing process and providing solutions in order to reduce the costs of reworking or assembly. Secondly, by simulating the thermal model of the set tooling/compositepart/vacuum bag a ...

Hybrid laminates. Industrialization for aircraft nose fuselage (HYBRIA)

Start date: Mar 15, 2012, End date: Mar 14, 2014,

The use of composites materials for aircraft design allows integrating other differentmaterials with non-structural functions thanks to the layered structure. This layeredstructure offers the opportunity to embed damping interleaves in the CFRP laminate toimprove the vibroacoustic damping behavior of the structure. These multifunctionalstructures will result in hybrid configurations which combine ...

Industrialization setup of Thermoplastics in situ consolidation process (ISINTHER)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"Thermoplastics (TP) are high molecular weight polymers which, unlike thermosetting (TS) resins, do not form a rigid three-dimensional cross-linked chemical structure after processing. This allows the TP to be readily re-melted and re-formed, not the TS. Additional advantages are: chemical/impact resistance, range of temperatures, low level of moisture uptake then low hot/wet conditions degradatio ...

Mutation of transport industry to carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRC) is now ineluctable in order to reduce our mobility environmental imprint. This sector is at a turn of its conversion from metal to composite, which should impose a radical rethinking of the whole supply chain. Combined developments of materials and matched processes is the main strategy of IMS&CPS project, only such a concert ...

Fuctional laminates development. Components compatibility and feasibility assessment. Industrialization (COMPASS)

Start date: Oct 8, 2010, End date: Jan 7, 2013,

"In the pursuit of weight reduction, future structures will have to be multifunctional in the sense that a single structure fulfils various objectives and therefore it is not necessary to develop independent structures for each of the functions required by the aircraft (acoustic and vibration attenuation, mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, etc.). Therefore multifunctional laminates ne ...
