Combined morphing assessment software using flight envelope data and mission based morphing prototype wing development (CHANGE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"Morphing in aircrafts has been studied and used throughout recent time in order to increase their flight envelope. This characteristic is of the upmost importance in order to offer a greater efficiency, versatility and performance during the assigned mission. Moreover an aircraft with the capability to adapt itself to each given situation is prone to achieve positive results to a range of differe ...

INNOVATIVE SMART COMPOSITE MOULDS FOR COST-EFFECTIVE MANUFACTURING OF PLASTIC AND COMPOSITE COMPONENTS (COEUS-TITAN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Currently, composite moulds are mainly used in open-mould manufacturing processes and in Light RTM (a low-pressure variation of RTM). The proposed project aims to extend the applicability of composite moulds into the more demanding regime of RTM production, as well as to extend the application of the open mould and light RTM techniques in the field of advanced resin systems, where elevated tempera ...

Leveraging on new knowledge and latest advances in science & technology to allow large communities of EU textile machinery SMEs to innovate their products & keep EU leadership in added value textiles (NU-WAVE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Although Europe keeps the world-wide leadership in the textile market, Far East has become a major manufacturing area. This situation opened new perspectives in fast growing markets for the European manufacturers of textile machines, 95% of which are SMEs. However, as today textile machines mainly consist of established electro-mechanical systems the advantages were only of short duration. An int ...

Multilayer Piezocomposites for Active Twist Rotor Blade (MulticompAct)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2011,

Novel active twist rotor blades require low profile piezocomposite actuators which are integrated into the blade skin. Operating as solid state actuators they generate a twist deformation of the rotor blade without any friction and wear. To provide sufficient strain it is necessary, that the actuator operates in the piezoelectric d33-mode. State-of-the-art piezocomposites that exploit the d33-effe ...
