Structural Characterization of Advanced Composite Tow-Steered Shells with Large Cutouts
2015
56th AIAA/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference
unpublished
The structural performance of two advanced composite tow-steered shells with large cutouts, manufactured using an automated fiber placement system, is assessed using both experimental and analytical methods. The fiber orientation angles of the shells vary continuously around their circumference from ±10 degrees on the crown and keel, to ±45 degrees on the sides. The raised surface features on one shell result from application of all 24 tows during each fiber placement system pass, while the
