Thermally Assisted Piercing of Acoustic Liners - (TAPACO)

TAPACO项目将解决生产高效和环保的穿孔热塑性复合材料板材的挑战，这些板材具有定制的声学性能以降低噪音。它将开发在不干扰和切割承重纤维的情况下在复合板中创建指定穿孔图案的方法和硬件。开发的技术将使制造更集成、更轻和更多功能的结构成为可能。该项目将建立一条示范线，在那里该工艺将以适当的规模应用，以评估可行性和有效性。最初，我们会考虑轴承吸音衬垫，但已发展的技术和相应的技术和科学诀窍将允许将这一方法推广到其他工业部门。所开发的能力将增加热塑性复合材料在相关应用中的吸引力，因为它们很容易回收，并随时可以促进循环经济。

TAPACO project will address the challenge of producing efficient and environmentally friendly perforated thermoplastic composite sheets with tailored acoustic properties for noise attenuation. It will develop the methodology and hardware for creating the specified perforation pattern in the composite panels without disturbing and cutting the load bearing fibres. The developed technologies will enable the fabrication of more integrated, lightweight and multifunctional structures.The project will build a demonstrator line where the process will be applied in suitable scale to assess feasibility and effectiveness. Initially, we will consider load bearing noise absorbing liners but the developed technologies and the corresponding technical and scientific know-how will allow to extend the methodology to other industrial sectors. The developed capabilities will increase the attractiveness of thermoplastic composites in relevant applications as they are easily recyclable and can readily contribute to circular economy.
