Project description DEENESFRITPL Ensuring thermoplastic aircraft components make the grade Thermoplastics are a type of plastic that can be melted and recast almost indefinitely. This means they are amenable to reprocessing and recycling, enhancing their sustainability. Further, they do not require a curing step after consolidation like thermoset polymers, and this reduces production times. The EU-funded TREAL project plans to help the EU aerospace sector exploit the potential of thermoplastics through the development of an advanced thermoplastic modelling platform. It will ensure accurate determination of design allowables, the allowable materials’ property values derived from test data. More specifically, the reliable determination of the allowable limits of stress, strain, or stiffness for certain configurations and conditions will support the utilisation of thermoplastic composites in future aircraft designs. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Thermoplastic modelling platform for the generation of Reliable design Allowables. The project will target the development of a material modelling platform for thermoplastic material. Numerical model of thermoplastic coupons necessary for material certification will be automaticallygenerated in order to provide robust design allowable. Uncertainty Quantification and Management method will also be used to provide numerical error associated to every generated virtual allowable in order to quantify the effect on model input parameter variability.
