Manufacturing requirements in design: The RTM process in aeronautics

2008Résumé
A sub-unit of an aeronautical structure (fuselage, fin, wing, etc.) consists of a set of components fixed rigidly together. One of today’s major industrial challenges is to produce these sub-units out of composite materials in order to increase the level of integration and reduce and cost. This article describes a procedure to assist in the industrialisation of aeronautical components produced from composite materials in a design for manufacturing context. In a multi-expertise approach, the problem of optimising integration is combined with the feasibility of injection for the Resin Transfer Molding process. This approach then takes into account admissible manufacturing deviations, defined from a classification of the structure parts. The limits set for admissible deviations guarantee the mechanical behaviour of the assembled component and the requirements of the assembly as a whole. Finally, an industrialisation solutions space is defined. A constraint satisfaction problem solver is used to carry out this research with a spar from a horizontal plane in an aircraft used to illustrate the procedure.
