Offline Robot-Path-Planning and Process Simulation for the Structural Analysis of Coreless Wound Fibre-Polymer Composite Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the coreless filament winding process (CFW) anchor points are wrapped with pre-impregnated fibre bundles (Towpregs) in a defined chronological order. With this process, fibre-polymer composite structures with a very high lightweight potential and very little material consumption can be created for different applications in the automotive, aeronautical, sports and architectural sector. The winding sequence and the fibre interaction thereby does have an influence on the final fibre architecture and thus on its structural behaviour. To take this into account a process chain for path planning and process simulation out of a design model is presented. To achieve flexible considerations of different design concepts a parameter-based method for the necessary path planning of the final three-dimensional fibre architecture is introduced. The approach is evaluated on different kinds of specimen.
