Review on the automated fiber placement process for the aero-engine composite fan blade and its feasibility in element level
The application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composite (CFRP) fan blades is crucial for weight reduction in high bypass ratio turbofan aircraft engines. Automated fiber placement (AFP) has the greatest potential for automating the production of CFRP fan blades. To help achieve high manufacturing quality and stability of fan blades, this review summarizes the key areas of AFP forming fan blades and generates an overall understanding of the key scientific challenges. Based on these understandings, an integrated research and development method for AFP (IRDM-AFP) is proposed, integrating virtual and measured data-driven modeling methods for parameter optimization to assist the manufacturing of high shape accuracy and performance of fan blades. The feasibility and necessity of IRDM-AFP is demonstrated through a preliminary study of AFP forming experiment for fan blade in an element level. This review provides a promising method for subsequent research and applications on AFP forming of CFRP fan blades.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
