Research Summary

We have developed a methodology for cost-effective manufacturing of composite structures that addresses cost/performance trade-offs accounting for manufacturing defects that are inevitable in rotor blades. This methodology incorporates in the long-term performance models various common defects, such as voids and unbounded interfaces, to systematically generate worst-case scenarios that can be introduced in the trade-off studies for cost minimization. The performance models are based on experimental studies conducted over many years where observations of failure at the micro-scale are properly incorporated in the failure criteria. These failure criteria are multi-axial and therefore represent most general loading scenarios.
