INFINITE: Aerospace Composites digitally sensorised from manufacturing to end-of-life

INFINITE的目标是开发基于铁磁微丝的传感器和分析仪，这些铁磁微丝将嵌入航空航天复合材料结构部件中，以便在部件的整个生命周期内监测制造和结构健康状况。无线监测系统将允许产生与样本相关的数字信号和大量数据集，以创建结构的建成数字孪生模型，该模型还将解释自制造以来的整个历史，通过执行所有维护操作，直到最佳回收。INFINITE旨在通过开发功能性传感非卷曲织物（NCF）来改进复合材料制造和结构健康监测（SHM）。这些织物将提供一个有效的实时监测系统，通过无线监测纤维的位置，方向，应变应力和温度的自传感纤维。这将通过施加安全的磁信号来实现，在制造过程中（温度和纤维控制）以及在组件的寿命期间提供体积信息。在服务中，新的SHM系统将提供有关组件完整性，性能和安全性的信息，从而通知和改进维护操作。新的传感器NCF还将为复杂部件提供新的维修能力。在织物中集成微丝为使用现有传感技术设计未来功能复合材料开辟了新的可能性。这种先进的质量监控有可能对复合材料部件的成本和安全可靠性产生重大影响，为欧洲制造商和MRO提供竞争优势。INFINITE还旨在评估传感硬件对当前复合材料回收方法的影响，调查再利用的潜力（其他应用，部门等）。传感器和组件两者以提供有用的寿命终止功能。

INFINITE aims to develop sensors and analyser based on the usage of ferromagnetic microwires to be embedded in aerospace composite structural parts, in order to monitor manufacturing and structural health throughout the whole life cycle of the component. The wireless monitoring system will permit producing digital signals and vast sets of data linked with the specimen to create an as-built digital twin of the structure that will also account for the whole history since it was manufactured through all maintenance operations performed, until being optimally recycled. INFINITE intends to deliver improvements in composite manufacturing and structural health monitoring (SHM) by the development of functional sensorised Non-Crimp fabrics (NCF). These fabrics will provide an efficient real-time monitoring system through a self-sensing fibre by wireless monitoring of the fibre position, orientation, strain-stress and temperature. This will be achieved by applying a safe magnetic signal, providing a volumetric information during the manufacture process (temperature and fibre control) but also during the life of the component. In service, the new SHM system will provide information about component integrity, performance and safety; therefore informing and improving maintenance operations. The new sensorised NCF will also enable a new repair capability for complex parts. Integration of microwires in the fabric opens new possibilities in the design of future functional composites using existing sensoring technologies. This advanced quality monitoring has the potential to deliver a significant impact on cost and safety reliability of composite components, providing a competitive advantage of European manufactures and MROs. INFINITE also aims to assess the effect of sensoring hardware on the current methods for composite recycling, investigating the potential for re using (other applications, sectors, etc.) both sensors and components to provide useful end of life functionality.
