Stanford University Composites Design Center Planning Meeting

使用复合材料进行设计通常是基于一种“黑色 铝”的方法。 已经开发了一些设计工具， 在过去的十年里，推进了复合材料的设计。 的 复合材料的制造工艺也一直由 手动操作。 目前几乎所有的制造方法都是 分批而不是连续处理。 行业/大学 斯坦福大学复合材料合作研究中心 可以提供一个更好的机制，以实现效率和经济 在材料和工艺方面， 技术和对环境的友好。 该中心将 专注于集成材料和加工技术，如 热塑性复合材料及其连续制造方法 低成本民用。 一个计划会议将研究工业界是否支持一项 工业/大学复合材料合作研究中心 技术总部设在斯坦福大学。 会议 将评估行业利益，并确定中心是否已 足够的支持和优点，以满足行业/大学 合作研究中心计划标准。 拟议 研究项目将涉及：1）计算机数据库， 复合材料设计; 2）连续或快速的工艺研究 3）研究了水泥基复合材料的成型工艺， 测试、检查、维护和修理的方法 复合材料; 4）热塑性塑料的超声波焊接， 5）低成本玻璃热塑性塑料的设计 结构复合材料用带; 6）低成本加强型 复合板 首席研究员被公认为杰出的 研究人员，并有资源为这个规划会议。 项目主任建议授予斯坦福大学 一万块三个月

Designing with composites has often been based on a "black aluminum" approach. Some design tolls have been developed to advance the design of composites in the past decade. The manufacturing processes of composites have also been dominated by manual operations. Nearly all manufacturing methods used today are by batch rather than continuous process. An Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Composites at Stanford University could provide a better mechanism to achieve efficiency and economy in material and processes in terms of energy consumption, dual-use technologies, and friendliness to the environment. The Center will focus on the integrated material and processing technology such as thermoplastic composites and continuous manufacturing processes for low-cost civilian applications. A planning meeting will study if industry will support an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Composites Technology to be headquartered at Stanford University. The meeting will assess industry interest and determine if the Center has sufficient support and merit to meet the Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers Program criteria. The proposed research projects will address: 1) computer-based data base for composite design; 2) process research on continuous or fast consolidation such as pultrusion and thermo-forming; 3) research in methodology of testing, inspection, maintenance, and repair of composite material; 4) ultrasonic welding of thermoplastics for assembly and repair; 5) design of low-cost glass-thermoplastics tapes for structural composite; 6) design of low-cost stiffened composite panel. The Principle Investigator is recognized as an eminent researcher and has the resource for this planning meeting. The Program Director recommends Stanford University be awarded $10,000 for three months.
