improved Method to Analyze composite materials suiTable for SLP structures with the aim of Reducing the Impact on the required eXperimental testing campaign

Project description

Improved numerical method to test composite aircraft structures

The EU-funded MATRIX project will develop improved numerical methods to compute both the type and variability of the defects that arise during the aircraft manufacturing process. More than 130 defect types and 60 variability and uncertainty sources could be identified for the resin transfer moulding process – a mass production method of composite parts. The MATRIX output comprises a smart tool that should help streamline the standard building block approach of composite materials, reducing the number of physical tests at flat-coupon level and on simple-shape elements and complex shapes. The tool will prove valuable for certifying composite, single-load path structures according to standards set out in FAR Part 25.

Objective

MATRIX Project intend to support the economic matter of the airworthiness certification for composite SLP structures in FAR 25, developing an OPTIMIZED approach to analyse, test and validate a large numbers of innovative materials suitable for HECOLAG purpose.
MATRIX output will be a SMART TOOL to streamline the standard Building Block Approach of composite material with a limited number of phisical tests at flat coupons level (L1), simple shape elements (L2) and detailed complex shape (L3).

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
