Intelligent Molding Proceeding of Composites and Intelligent Manufacturing Systems for Composite Materials

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.
