This paper presents a 2D transient heat transfer model, which has been developed using finite difference method for composites made by AFP process with a hot gas torch. The model includes non-linear distributions for the hot gas/air temperature and convection...
Chaque semaine NAE vous propose une veille technologique sur une thématique de sa feuille de route technologique. Aujourd’hui retrouvez sa veille sur la thématique Composite qui abordera : Manufacturing and Impact behaviour of aeronautic overmolded grid-stiffened...
Thermoplastic composites offer many opportunities for aeronautics. Among them is the possibility of overmolding composite parts to obtain finished “netshape” parts in medium series. This paper presents the complexity of the manufacturing method and the manufacturing...
A system and method for thermoplastic composite welding comprising a cooling means and a heat source. The cooling means cools a heat-side laminate so as to create a thermal gradient in the heat-side laminate. The heat source heats the heat-side laminate after the...
Certain natural fibers have been attracting attention in order to mitigate the consumption of fossil fuels toward partly or totally replacing glass fibers in polymeric composites. The main organic sources for these fibers are the following plants: flax, hemp, sisal,...
