Achieving vertically-integrated carbon-fibre reinforcement design and manufacture demonstrators for structural manufacturing and construction 3-D composites (AVISC)

这个创新项目的总体目标是为高价值制造业的结构三维碳纤维增强复合材料（CFRCs）和建筑行业的混凝土和复合材料的编织三维编织增强材料实现强大的垂直集成设计和制造。M Wright and Sons （MWS）设计、委托并开发了一种独特的cnc控制织机，具有织造CADCAM，能够为CFRCs织造三维固体碳纤维增强预成型（CFRP）型材。由于没有其他商业化的三维结构CFRC制造技术，因此没有使用有限元（FE）技术分析这些部件的数据。关键的创新是通过理论模拟和测试结果的相关性来创建机械性能知识，以及将3-D实体CAD模型与编织CAD相关联的算法和软件的开发，从而使复合材料和增强预成形符合用户要求。

The overall objective of this innovative project is to achieve robust vertically-integrated design and manufacture for structural 3-D carbon-fibre reinforced composites (CFRCs) for the High-Value Manufacturing sector and woven 3-D woven reinforcements for concrete and composites for the Construction sector. M Wright and Sons (MWS) have designed, commissioned and developed a unique CNC-controlled loom, with weaving CADCAM, capable of weaving 3-D solid carbon fibre reinforcement pre-form (CFRP) sections for CFRCs. As there is no other commercial 3-D structural CFRC manufacturing technology there are no data to analyse these components using Finite Element (FE) techniques. Key innovations are the creation of mechanical-property knowledge through the correlation of theoretical simulations and test results and the development of algorithms and software to relate 3-D solid CAD models to weaving CAD enabling composites and reinforcement pre-forms to match user requirements.
