    Abstract : Since its beginnings, the aerospace industry has been interested in lowering the weight of aircraft. Moving from performance and economic drivers to environmental design parameters, the weight has continuously been a major focus for this industry. READ MORE

  5. 4. Consolidation and Forming of Aerospace Graded Composite Materials : An experimental study of prepreg characteristics

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Matilda Eriksson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The topic of this project is an experimental study of prepreg characteristics, such as tack, consolidation and temperature sensitivity during forming. The aim has first been tounderstand how the material reacts during different manufacturing processes. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigating In-plane Shear Behaviour of Uncured Unidirectional Prepreg Tapes

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Ming Kai Chea; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Steering of prepreg tows in an automated fibre placement (AFP) process allows geodesic layup trajectory over a doubly-curved surface, as well as the potential to improve the efficiency of composite structures by tailoring their stiffness. However, defects (such as out-of-plane buckling and tow pull off) are commonly generated when the steering radius exceeds a critical limit, which impact the mechanical properties of the finished product.
