This project aims to develop a productivity-enhancing AI solution for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of composite components, considering manufacture and service life, for the construction industry. Using AI in SHM is identified as a promising approach because of the need to collect, process and analyse large amounts of data, and recognise patterns wh...

Mould tools used to produce carbon fibre parts must generally be made from carbon fibre or Invar due to the need to match the very low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of carbon. These materials are expensive and have high embodied CO2, especially when considering that the moulds are often only used a few times to produce limited runs or even one-of...

The CARBIO project will develop automotive structures with reduced weight, cost, environmental impact and improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) by the incorporation of novel flax-bioepoxy composites into carbon fibre components. The need to reduce vehicle weight is leading to the adoption of carbon fibre, which is expensive, energy/CO2 intensive, ...

Develop an inifial specification for the turbine blades. We will develop a theorefical model for the composite structure based on conductive yarns of different impedance. Based on these models we will experimentally model the radar attenuation in the S-band and the X-band. The findings wili be validated using a DoE approach by producing small scale sample...
