LOw COst Manufacturing and Assembly of Composite and Hybrid Structures (LOCOMACHS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

The continued use of composite materials in the aerospace industry has been addressed in several past research projects which have focused on new design solutions and composite manufacturing processes. However an area which has been given much less attention up until now is how to achieve a time and cost effective lean assembly production system. The current airframe assembly process of composite ...

Cost Effective Reinforcement of Fastener Areas in Composites (CERFAC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"CERFAC’s major challenge is the design and manufacturing of strong and cost-efficient joints for high performance CFRP aero-structures.In particular, transfer of distributed loading along rivets lines in the assembly of flat or curved thin-walled stiffened panels, and introduction of concentrated loads for connecting lugs with thicker laminates are special & frequent problems. Hence, CERFAC focus ...

PUMA

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

Pressure forward bulkheads presently consist of different parts requiring an assembly process to get the final structure. Cost reduction can be achieved by using one shot injection technologies where an integrated skin-stiffening pre-form will be injected in one single shot. Further reduction of costs and energy consumption can be achieved by using Out of Autoclave resin systems. This proposal add ...
