Cost Effective Reinforcement of Fastener Areas in Composites
Annotation in Czech
CERFAC?s major challenge is the design and manufacturing of strong and cost-efficient joints for high performance CFRP aero-structures. CERFAC?s high level objectives are - to increase the strength to cost ratio and damage tolerance of fastener areas inCFRP structures without weight, thickness and stiffness penalty and - to reduce the number or fasteners (10 to 100% reduction), the local thickening of fastener areas and minimize the manufacturing & assembly costs (20% reduction). Planned major deliverables and outputs are: - upgraded design, analysis and testing methodologies - a catalogue of validated reinforcement solutions at the locus of fastener holes or edges leading to more damage tolerant designs and innovative and efficient joining concepts -combining some of the investigated reinforcement solutions with enhanced capacity and damage tolerance behaviour of the assembly, with a significant step towards a reduced manufacturing cost.
