How natural fibre composites can be the road to more sustainable mobility

The use of traditional carbon and glass fibre-based composites across industries is nowadays heavily challenged by environmental questions that arise due to their high carbon footprint and lack of efficient and industrial processes to recycle or dispose of the laminates at their end-of-life. Plant based natural fibres offer very encouraging numbers both in terms of their global warming potential and a mechanical point of view. Tomorrow’s mobility needs to become more sustainable, and this means we also must focus on large-scale mass transportation applications to maximise sustainable impact. The potential of sustainable lightweighting in aerospace applications is significant, with other mass transportation sectors like buses and trains also showing big potential for sustainable interiors.

Stochastic Optimization Methodologies for Robust, Sustainable Designs

In light of the increasing material costs, energy costs and sustainability requirements, future designs across automotive, aerospace and tooling will need to be yet more proactively optimised. However, further gains in lightweight performance cannot come at the cost of excessive commercial development or end-user operating risk and costs. Even strongly optimized components must remain fit for purpose and behave robustly under real-world variabilities of operating conditions.

Intelligent Resin Infusion System – Tackling large scale Vacuum Bag Only Resin Infusion processing challenges

VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Moulding) processing is typically challenging for large scale aerospace grade composite components. Although VARTM processing methods are extensively utilised in the boat hull and wind blade manufacturing industries the tight tolerances and strict quality requirements of the aerospace industry often deem RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) processing preferable over VARTM. Despite RTM being a very robust process both capital investment and processing time are increasing exponentially with the increase of the part size often making such processes not favourable over conventional prepreg Autoclave processing.
