During the process of designing lightweight CFRP structures, one usually needs access to allowable values. However, allowables generation is particularly costly and time-consuming. Each characterized material system must cover various layups, coupon tests, and environment conditions. Each test configuration must be repeated many times to obtain a statistical evaluation of the mechanical property. With advanced …
Bringing Additive Manufacturing Closer to Its Golden Age: Solving Problems with Materials Characterization, Process Variation and Machine Qualification Additive manufacturing is being widely used today in many different industries. It has become increasingly popular in the last two decades as the cost to print has decreased. Additive manfuacturing makes production faster, it can manufacture …
When early manufacturing giants realized that their mass production techniques would not be effective if they wished to maintain their competitive edge, they started to research new manufacturing methods. One of the most remarkable outcomes of these efforts was rapid prototyping. In the past, production had always been a way to convert or shape a …
Although engineers have started to use simulation software to test brake squeal, its complex nature usually requires more than one different software and discipline. This makes it difficult to transfer data from one software to another and to work in different environments. To address complex brake squeal in one environment, multidisciplinary solutions (MD) can be used. …
Airplane noise is an important factor for airlines to consider due to several industry changes in recent years. Increased competition, more air traffic, and construction of communities near airports has created several new issues for aerospace engineers to take into consideration, including quality perception from customers and new regulations from both local and federal governments. Turbofan …
Acoustic Simulation For the Aeronautical Industry With the expansion of air travel around the world, competition between airlines has become much tougher. Airplane companies are under constant pressure from governments around the world to reduce noise and from consumers to reduce the cost of air travel. For many companies, noise is a chronic …
