Abstract
Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have significant applications in aerospace and automotive manufacturing. However, due to the complexity of CFRP structures, manufacturing defects are challenging to avoid and even affect the mechanical properties. Timely detection and repair are essential to ensure product quality. In this study, we propose a robotized framework for real-time detection and in-situ repair of manufacturing defects in CFRP patch placement. First, the influence of three typical defects (delamination, wrinkle and impurity) on mechanical properties is analyzed through numerical analysis. Then, a defect detection model is improved using the channel attention mechanism and decoupling head module, which enhances detection accuracy and the ability to identify small and deep defects. Based on the identification result, a corresponding repair strategy is generated, which considers the effects of force, path, heating and repair modes. The experimental results demonstrate that the tensile stiffness and bending strength of the repaired material are improved by 12.34% and 230.92%, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The journal, Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, focuses on sharing research applications that contribute to the development of new or enhanced robotics, manufacturing technologies, and innovative manufacturing strategies that are relevant to industry. Papers that combine theory and experimental validation are preferred, while review papers on current robotics and manufacturing issues are also considered. However, papers on traditional machining processes, modeling and simulation, supply chain management, and resource optimization are generally not within the scope of the journal, as there are more appropriate journals for these topics. Similarly, papers that are overly theoretical or mathematical will be directed to other suitable journals. The journal welcomes original papers in areas such as industrial robotics, human-robot collaboration in manufacturing, cloud-based manufacturing, cyber-physical production systems, big data analytics in manufacturing, smart mechatronics, machine learning, adaptive and sustainable manufacturing, and other fields involving unique manufacturing technologies.
