Intelligent composite products

Objetivo



Composite Based Manufacturing has been until now supported mostly by large military, aerospace and material enterprises, traditionally involved in engineering and manufacturing of high performance products, which could afford the time consuming trial-and-error experiments and certification processes for high-volume production of long-life products. Recently, however, projects on composites applications can be increasingly found in the civil-commercial business, characterzed by customized solutions, faster time-to-market, short-term turnaround and stiffer competition. This business is in itself well suited to Small and Medium Enterprises "SME's).

This requires, however, that SME's relinquish the traditional role of supplier to major industries and start to cooperate, to form networks and participate to the chain of added value as co-designer and co-maker, thanks to improved capabilities for design - an ongoing trend. It is exactly these questions that project INCOMPRO addresses. INCOMPRO activities will be focused on design, seen as a key process to minimize the time lag from product conception to cash and as a continuous aspect of the production process. INCOMPRO deals with Composites as the essential building materials of a new group of products, defined as intelligent. They are called so because of their inherent physical and morphological properties, thanks to which they adapt themselves to working conditions. Among the products that have inspired this project and which seem well suited to it, the following can be mentioned: propeller, liquid ring compressors, booms for sailboats, structural panels for trains and planes. This project aims to realize an Intelligent Engineering Framework, called Virtual Engineering Environment (VEE), for the design and prototyping of new applications based on composites. It is beyond the scope of this project to develop new numerical models for the simulation of specific manufacturing techniques (e.g. Liquid Composite Moulding, Resin Transfer Moulding, Vacuum Resin Injection). The VEE system is a computer simulation framework that allows design, development and testing of a product before it is actually built, thus eliminating many of the intermediate and costly experimental tests. Realized with a concurrent bottom-up and top-down approach, it integrates, among others existing components, a data base of material properties - selected types of resin and fibers - a knowledge base of rules generated from parameters and constraints of actual manufacturing processes, feature based Product Data models, improved modeling algorithms based on FEA codes, and a new design method, called Design-of-Deformation, that provide the optimal product shape.

Thanks to the integrated VEE approach the relation between the design and analysis phases of a new product and its development process are strengthened and linked in a cost-effective and efficient way. The proposed development work constitutes an original and valuable contribution to the following areas: Computer Integrated Engineering and Manufacturing, Optimization of the process to determine fiber reinforcement structures, it associated FEA code and lay-up procedures, Virtual Prototyping. The realization of INCOMPRO will represent a significant contribution to the world of SME's, enabling them to cooperate with the international research community, distribute leadership and coordinate capabilities among different institutions and regions, minimizing time, cost and risk for the development or intelligent and customized solutions based on Composite Materials.
