TPRC proprietary
• Thermoplastic composites = fiber + thermoplastic matrix
• Product performance depends strongly on chosen processing route, material properties and design

THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Quick intro
+
TPRC proprietary
Research center for thermoplastic composites
• Driven by industrial members
• Scientific quality is guaranteed by academic members
Focus
• Interrelation between processing and performance
• Experimental work with modeling efforts to support analysis

Experimental data depends on:
• Material, batch numbers, material storage history, sample lay-up, manufacturing method, process conditions (temperature, pressure, time, cooling rate, …), mold, release agents used, operator, test equipment, test type, test conditions (temperature, humidity), …
PhD theses, articles and reports often cover only part of this info…

THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Traceability is key
A lot of relevant context information is lost!
TPRC proprietary
Database solution
• No commercial solution available: too specific
• Developed an Access database in collaboration with external party
Maintenance and access
• Designated technical personnel maintains database
• Senior staff can access information stored in database
5
DATABASE Development
TPRC proprietary
Conclusions
• Working database solution for data from standardized experiments
• All relevant context is stored with experimental data
Challenge
• How to cope with changes in experimental setups, procedures and so on?
• How to cope with non-standard tests?
