The Model Design and Simulation of Automatic Placement Path for the Shell of Composite Materials

Abstract

Composite materials are new types of heterogeneous solid materials, which are characteristic of high strength, high stiffness, corrosion-resistant and structural stable and ease molding, etc. Automatic placement technology is an advanced molding technology for composite materials developed in recent decades. In this paper, we proposed a new placement method, which is appropriate for conical shell with small conicity. The corresponding model of placement path was established, and the placement process was simulated using three-dimensional software. The results verified that the longitudinal placement process is feasible for manufacturing process of high-performance composite materials.
