Abstract: | The technology of Intelligent cure operation is set forth according to developing tedency of smart material and structure. Intelligent-sy s tem-based tool was developed in order to operate the autoclave cure of a fiber r einforced thermosetting matrix composite laminate in an optimal manner.The objec tive function is comforts for minimizing the total cure time,uniforming the tem perature distribution,controling exothermal and minimizing the process-induced r esidual stresses in the laminate.Data is analyzed on-line to determine the t r ends in real-time. The results from application of this overall strategy for the curing of composites are presented. |
