  2. 1. Affordable reconfigurable assembly tooling : an aircraft development and manufacturing perspective

    Author : Henrik Kihlman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Industry has changed in recent years. Increased globalization has led to a situation where few manufacturers build their own complete products "in-house". This situation is no different in the aerospace industry. In fact, aircraft manufacturers who build their complete aircraft in­ house are uncommon today. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tooling and processing for efficient and high tolerance prepreg composite manufacturing

    Author : Tommy Grankäll; Malin Åkermo; Per Hallander; Simon Bickerton; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tooling; Composite Manufacturing; Mould; Cure tool; Hot-forming; Compensation; Moisture; Shape distortion; Flyg- och rymdteknik; Aerospace Engineering;

    Abstract : Composite use is normally motivated in aircraft design by improved weight-specific mechanical properties as compared to metals. However, fatigue and dielectric properties may also be critical for material selection. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the Realization of Credible Simulations in Aircraft Development : Efficient and Independent Validation Enabled by Automation

    Author : Robert Hällqvist; Petter Krus; Magnus Eek; Robert Braun; Gerhard Schmitz; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aircraft Vehicle Systems; Credibility Assessment; FMI; Interoperability; Modelica; Modeling and Simulation; Model integration; SSP;

    Abstract : Designing modern aircraft is not an easy task. Today, it is not enough to optimize aircraft subsystems at a subsystem level. Instead, a holistic approach is necessary whereby the constituent subsystems need to be designed for the best joint performance. READ MORE

  6. 4. On Standardized Model Integration : Automated Validation in Aircraft System Simulation

    Author : Robert Hällqvist; Petter Krus; Magnus Eek; Robert Braun; Henrik Tidefelt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Designing modern aircraft is not an easy task. Today, it is not enough to optimize aircraft sub-systems at a sub-system level. Instead, a holistic approach is taken whereby the constituent sub-systems need to be designed for the best joint performance. READ MORE

  7. 5. Affordable automation for airframe assembly : developing of key enabling technologies

    Author : Henrik Kihlman; Mats Björkman; Giorgos Nikoleris; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Building aircraft is a challenging field. An aircraft has a life expectancy of 40 years, compared to just 10 years for a car. Given the vibrations of flying at close to Mach one at an altitude of 10,000 meters, these machines must function flawlessly in a tough environment. This demands high quality in the assembly processes. READ MORE
