Abstract

The objective of this 4-year European funded project is to look at manufacturing induced part distortion of aerospace components. Part distortion, which is a function of residual stress, is caused by the complex relationships between material processing, component design and subsequent manufacture. The work programme has been developed around these three fundamental streams of research and consequently adopts a truly concurrent approach. Two further research streams will enable the weight of research findings to be effectively applied to problem solving; these are finite element modelling and knowledge integration. Research will be used to gain a greater degree of understanding across several engineering disciplines and create a knowledge base using a process-orientated approach. Finite element modelling will be used to develop additional functionality that will enable multidisciplinary simulations to be undertaken. Knowledge integration will be implemented in order to assist or guide cross-functional engineering teams in the many decision-making processes involved in engineering design of complex components and structures.
