Manufacture Of Complex Geometry Component For Advanced Material Stiffness, David Russell Bydalek
Manufacture Of Complex Geometry Component For Advanced Material Stiffness, David Russell Bydalek
Master's Theses
The manufacture, laminate design, and modeling of a part with complex geometry are explored. The ultimate goal of the research is to produce a model that accurately predicts part stiffness. This is validated with experimental results of composite parts, which refine material properties for use in a final prototype part model. The secondary goal of this project is to explore manufacturing methods for improved manufacturability of the complex part. The manufacturing portion of the thesis and feedback into material model has incorporated a senior project team to perform research on manufacturing and create composite part to be used for experimental …
