Measurements, Analysis, and Process Planning for Fabric Layup
![Page 13: Research Advances for Wind Blade Manufacturing...Research Advances for Wind Blade Manufacturing Frank Peters Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering The Iowa State University](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012008/612370b41bf8fc3d1c73526c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Much of the composite manufacturing state-of-the-art is too expensive for blades (aerospace solutions are not always feasible/cost-effective)
• Glass composites for blades use broad fabric panels which do not “want” to go into a 3D mold (this is not Automated Tape Layup, therefore… touch labor required)
• Manual layup methods prevalent when the mold geometry is complex (Hancock & Potter 2006)

Layup Plan
• Constraint at -45 degree• Smoothing along mold centerline
19
• Since layup of UD has one free end, deformations OOM can occur
• Existing software assumes that fabric conforms to the mold surface

Objective for Process Planning
• Development method for – pre-shear planning– in-process manipulation planning
• To achieve– For feasible layups: optimize the shear distribution
pattern and more robust to handling errors – For non-feasible layups: make them feasible?

• Unit cell deformation • provides uniform change of the tangent values of shear angle distribution between neighboring tow pairs
• is the quantity to be “embedded” in the fabric prior to the layup process
