Research orientations in design for recovery applied to composite parts

Abstract

The composite use in industry increases. Despite, composite end of life solutions are still under development. We proposed to address a combined definition of both composite design and composite recycling process. This paper will discuss the needs of multi-disciplinary skills in order to take into account recycling possibilities in the design, and to asset recycling product capabilities by the design requirements. This paper highlights the relation between functional approach by designer, characterization for material and mechanics behavior and recycling process limits, constrains and opportunities.
