Today composite materials become increasingly more common to use for lightweight applications. This paper introduces a simulation approach for a handling and forming process. This process focusses on the robot based gripping, ...

For the development of a robot based laser cutting process of automotive 3D parts consisting of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP), investigations with a newly developed fibre guided nanosecond pulsed laser with an ...

This paper describes a laser-based approach for the bonded repair of fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts. According to CFRP's material properties and sensitivity to thermal loads, short pulsed UV laser radiation is ...

The production rates of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts are rising constantly which in turn drives research to bring a higher level of automation to the manufacturing processes of CFRP. Resin transfer molding ...

Laser transmission welding applications become wide spread technology in joining transparent and turbid materials. The requirement of higher throughputs and lesser rejects support the need of alternative methods to commonly ...

Static and fatigue analyses are presented for a new blended wing body (BWB) fuselage concept considering laminar flow control (LFC) by boundary layer suction in order to reduce the aerodynamic drag. BWB aircraft design ...
