| Abstract Scope |
Manufacturing high-quality polymer composite parts without rejection is critical, especially for aerospace and wind energy structures requiring precise temperature control. This paper presents a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) framework for composite manufacturing, implemented through a digital twin that monitors and controls the process. Using this digital twin, multiple process deviations and potential failure scenarios in composite manufacturing are modeled, and optimal corrective actions are computed to create the FMEA table. This digitally generated FMEA table is then used to detect anomalies in the physical manufacturing process. To simulate this process, a multi-scale cure kinetics model is developed to capture the part's thermo-chemical-mechanical state. Additionally, the Joule heating effect is modeled for resistive heating elements embedded in a PID-controlled molding tool. Demonstrated on a tapered laminated composite with multiple heating zones, this approach enhances quality control and ensures more efficient composite manufacturing. |
