Materials and Process Design for Composite Anisogrid Structures

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to investigate both theoretically, by means of physical models, and experimentally, by means of scaled test article manufacturing, all the limits of anisogrid manufacturing process, to understand - and overcome as far as possible- the real nature of problems related to winding and deposition techniques when applied to this structural concept, towards a full acceptance of proposed technology in aeronautics and other possible fields.
