The film adhesive does not shift relative to the honeycomb. This is consistent with the core crush behavior where the honeycomb moves together with the film adhesive, as can be seen in Figure 2(a). The pull-through forces of the friction measurements between honeycomb and prepreg at 1 mm deformation are plotted in Figure 17(a). While the friction at 100°C is similar to the friction at 120°C, it decreases significantly at 130°C and exhibits a minimum at 140°C. At 150°C, the friction rises again slightly and then sharply at 160°C. Since the viscosity of the M18/1 prepreg resin drops significantly before it cures [23], the minimum friction at 140°C could result from a minimum viscosity of the mixture of prepreg resin and film adhesive before the bond subsequently cures. Figure 17(b) shows the mean value curve of the friction measurements at 140°C. The error bars, which represent the standard deviation, reveal the good repeatability of the tests. The force curve is approximately horizontal between 1 mm and 2 mm. The friction then slightly rises. As with interlaminar friction measurements, this could be due to the fact that resin is removed by friction and the proportion of boundary lubrication increases. Figure 18 shows the surfaces after the friction measurement. The honeycomb cell walls are clearly visible in the film adhesive. There are areas where the film adhesive is completely removed and the carrier material of the film adhesive becomes visible. In addition, the viscosity of the resin changes as the curing progresses during the friction test. This can also affect the force-displacement curve.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{EnglhardWeberArent2021, author = {Englhard, Markus and Weber, Tobias and Arent, Jan-Christoph}, title = {Efficiency enhancement for CFRP-Prepregautoclave manufacturing by means of simulation-assisted loading optimization}, series = {Proceedings of SAMPE Europe Conference 2021}, booktitle = {Proceedings of SAMPE Europe Conference 2021}, pages = {8 Seiten}, year = {2021}, abstract = {A new method for improved autoclave loading within the restrictive framework of helicopter manufacturing is proposed.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) has research and development projects for future hydrogen society; production of hydrogen gas, refinement and liquefaction for transportation and storage, and utilization with gas turbine / gas engine for the generation of electricity. In the development of hydrogen gas turbines, a key technology is the stable and low NOx hydrogen combustion, especially Dry Low Emission (DLE) or Dry Low NOx (DLN) hydrogen combustion. Due to the large difference in the physical properties of hydrogen compared to other fuels such as natural gas, well established gas turbine combustion systems cannot be directly applied for DLE hydrogen combustion. Thus, the development of DLE hydrogen combustion technologies is an essential and challenging task for the future of hydrogen fueled gas turbines. The DLE Micro-Mix combustion principle for hydrogen fuel has been in development for many years to significantly reduce NOx emissions. This combustion principle is based on cross-flow mixing of air and gaseous hydrogen which reacts in multiple miniaturized "diffusion-type" flames. The major advantages of this combustion principle are the inherent safety against flashback and the low NOx-emissions due to a very short residence time of the reactants in the flame region of the micro-flames.}, language = {en} } @article{ThomaRavi2019, author = {Thoma, Andreas and Ravi, Sridhar}, title = {Significance of parallel computing on the performance of Digital Image Correlation algorithms in MATLAB}, pages = {1 -- 17}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a powerful tool used to evaluate displacements and deformations in a non-intrusive manner. By comparing two images, one of the undeformed reference state of a specimen and another of the deformed target state, the relative displacement between those two states is determined. DIC is well known and often used for post-processing analysis of in-plane displacements and deformation of specimen. Increasing the analysis speed to enable real-time DIC analysis will be beneficial and extend the field of use of this technique. Here we tested several combinations of the most common DIC methods in combination with different parallelization approaches in MATLAB and evaluated their performance to determine whether real-time analysis is possible with these methods. To reflect improvements in computing technology different hardware settings were also analysed. We found that implementation problems can reduce the efficiency of a theoretically superior algorithm such that it becomes practically slower than a suboptimal algorithm. The Newton-Raphson algorithm in combination with a modified Particle Swarm algorithm in parallel image computation was found to be most effective. This is contrary to theory, suggesting that the inverse-compositional Gauss-Newton algorithm is superior. As expected, the Brute Force Search algorithm is the least effective method. We also found that the correct choice of parallelization tasks is crucial to achieve improvements in computing speed. A poorly chosen parallelisation approach with high parallel overhead leads to inferior performance. Finally, irrespective of the computing mode the correct choice of combinations of integerpixel and sub-pixel search algorithms is decisive for an efficient analysis. Using currently available hardware realtime analysis at high framerates remains an aspiration.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HoevelerJanser2016, author = {Hoeveler, Bastian and Janser, Frank}, title = {The aerodynamically optimized design of a fan-in-wing duct}, series = {Applied Aerodynamics Research Conference 2016, Bristol, GB, Jul 19-21, 2016}, booktitle = {Applied Aerodynamics Research Conference 2016, Bristol, GB, Jul 19-21, 2016}, isbn = {1-85768-371-4}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{WeberEnglhardArentetal.2019, author = {Weber, Tobias and Englhard, Markus and Arent, Jan-Christoph and Hausmann, Joachim}, title = {An experimental characterization of wrinkling generated during prepreg autoclave manufacturing using caul plates}, series = {Journal of Composite Materials}, volume = {53}, journal = {Journal of Composite Materials}, number = {26-27}, issn = {1530-793X}, doi = {10.1177/0021998319846556}, pages = {3757 -- 3773}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Weber2019, author = {Weber, Tobias}, title = {Herstellprozesssimulation zur Vorhersage der Faltenbildung in der Prepreg-Autoklav-Fertigung}, publisher = {Technische Universit{\"a}t Kaiserslautern}, address = {Kaiserslautern}, isbn = {978-3-944440-24-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:386-kluedo-54923}, pages = {XIV, 207 Seiten}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @article{OttenWeberArent2018, author = {Otten, Dennis and Weber, Tobias and Arent, Jan-Christoph}, title = {Manufacturing Process Simulation - On Its Way to Industrial Application}, series = {International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace}, volume = {5}, journal = {International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace}, number = {2}, publisher = {Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University}, address = {Daytona Beach, Fla.}, issn = {2374-6793}, doi = {10.15394/ijaaa.2018.1217}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Manufacturing process simulation (MPS) has become more and more important for aviation and the automobile industry. A highly competitive market requires the use of high performance metals and composite materials in combination with reduced manufacturing cost and time as well as a minimization of the time to market for a new product. However, the use of such materials is expensive and requires sophisticated manufacturing processes. An experience based process and tooling design followed by a lengthy trial-and-error optimization is just not contemporary anymore. Instead, a tooling design process aided by simulation is used more often. This paper provides an overview of the capabilities of MPS in the fields of sheet metal forming and prepreg autoclave manufacturing of composite parts summarizing the resulting benefits for tooling design and manufacturing engineering. The simulation technology is explained briefly in order to show several simplification and optimization techniques for developing industrialized simulation approaches.
