This book was released on 2023-01-26 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural carbon fiber reinforced plastic parts are usually manufactured through autoclave processing for high-performance aerospace applications. Today’s aerospace composite manufacturing techniques require high quality with robust manufacturing processes. Manufacturing process simulation enables the investigations of physical effects and manufacturing process mechanisms. This approach has been increasingly used to predict and optimize the manufacturing process for high part quality at low manufacturing costs. Owing to a complicated manufacturing environment involving multi-physics characteristics, there is a critical need to develop an efficient and cost-effective numerical methodology with a systematic study. This thesis contributes to the systematic investigations of the process modeling, simulation, thermal measurement, and optimization in composite manufacturing of autoclave processing. The method provides a correct and efficient thermal analysis and optimization in autoclave processing to achieve better process control and ensure the quality of composite parts. The presented framework can be applied directly in autoclave production with larger dimensions and full-scale tools for aerospace structures. The developed methodology allows quick delivery guidelines of production plans and optimization strategies for composite manufacturing in a highly useful and cost-effective way, thereby reducing the cost in the design and manufacturing phase. Since July 2017, Mr. Junhong Zhu has been working as a research assistant in the department of modeling and simulation at the FIBRE (Faserinstitut Bremen e.V.) at the University of Bremen. He deals with the process modeling and simulation in composite manufacturing of autoclave processing. His research focuses on numerical methods, such as computational fluid dynamics and finite element methods, muti-physics coupling schemes, and process optimization. He is also interested in the use of artificial intelligence in the manufacturing process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residual stresses are a common phenomenon in composite materials. They can either add to or significantly reduce material strength. Because of the increasing demand for high-strength, light-weight materials such as composites and their wide range of applications in the aerospace and automotive industries, in civil infrastructure and in sporting applications, it is critical that the residual stresses of composite materials are understood and measured correctly.The first part of this important book reviews destructive and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for measuring residual stresses. Various mathematical (analytical and numerical) methods for calculation of residual stresses in composite materials are also presented. Chapters in the first section of the book discuss the simulated hole drilling method, the slitting/crack compliance method, measuring residual stresses in homogeneous and composite glass materials using photoelastic techniques, and modeling residual stresses in composite materials. The second part of the book discusses residual stresses in polymer matrix, metal-matrix and a range of other types of composites. Moreover, the addition of nanoparticles to the matrix of polymeric composites as a new technique for reduction of residual stresses is discussed.Residual stresses in composite materials provides a comprehensive overview of this important topic, and is an invaluable reference text for both academics and professionals working in the mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace, automotive, marine and sporting industries. - Reviews destructive and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for measuring residual stresses - Discusses residual stresses in polymer matrix, metal-matrix and other types of composite - Considers the addition of nanoparticles to the matrix of polymeric composites as a new technique for reduction of residual stresses
