  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. On Subscale Flight Testing : Applications in Aircraft Conceptual Design

    Author : Alejandro Sobron; Petter Krus; David Lundström; Zdobyslaw Goraj; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Downscaled physical models, also referred to as subscale models, have played an essential role in the investigation of the complex physics of flight until the recent disruption of numerical simulation. Despite the fact that improvements in computational methods are slowly pushing experimental techniques towards a secondary role as verification or calibration tools, real-world testing of physical prototypes still provides an unmatched confidence.

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Design for Producibility in Fabricated Aerospace Components - A framework for predicting and controlling geometrical variation and weld quality defects during multidisciplinary design

    Author : Julia Madrid; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Quality Assurance; Welding; Aerospace; Design for Producibility; Welding simulation; Variation Management; Design for Manufacturing; robust design;

    Abstract : In the aerospace industry, weight reduction has been one of the key factors in making aircraft more fuel efficient in order to satisfy environmental demands and increase competitiveness. One strategy adopted by aircraft component suppliers to reduce weight has been fabrication, in which small cast or forged parts are welded together into a final shape. READ MORE
