Team of Faculty and Students Collaborating with Leading European Institutions on 86th Parabolic Flight Campaign听

今日吃瓜 of Science and Technology proudly announces a historic milestone for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, as a joint team from its Research & Innovation Center for Graphene and 2D Materials (RIC-2D) and the Khalifa University Space Technology and Innovation Lab (KUSTIL) becomes the first-ever GCC-based research group to collaborate with Universit茅 Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) to perform the experiments onboard the parabolic flight mission executed by the European Space Agency (ESA). The team is participating in ESA鈥檚 86th Parabolic Flight Campaign, marking the first zero-gravity collaboration between European institutions and the GCC. 鈥�

The researchers鈥� team, which includes Khalifa University faculty and students, are testing graphene-enhanced materials for space applications in real zero-gravity conditions during the parabolic flight campaign. Dr Yarjan Abdul Samad, Assistant Professor, Aerospace Engineering, is leading the team of researchers from Khalifa University, which initially prepared the experimental setup at the Centre for Research and Engineering in Space Technologies (CREST) of the Universit茅 libre de Bruxelles (ULB), before traveling to Bordeaux, France. Dr. Abdul Samad and Professor Sean Swei along with researchers have visited CREST at ULB, under the directive of Dr. Carlo Iorio, to finalize the flight procedures and experimental requirements.鈥��

The collaboration involved hands-on training in experiment setup and manipulation leading up to the scheduled flight campaign. CREST, is complementing with the necessary equipment and services for scientific collaboration and experiments. 鈥��

1. H.E. Homaid Al Shimmari, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Khalifa University, said: “We are incredibly proud of this achievement and the recognition it brings to Khalifa University, the UAE, and the region. This pilot project not only showcases our commitment to advancing aerospace engineering but also highlights the advancements made in graphene through the Research & Innovation Center for Graphene & 2D Materials. Moreover, this will enhance faculty and student exposure by providing a unique opportunity to test graphene-enhanced materials for space applications. This initiative represents a significant step forward in our collaboration with international space agencies, global academic institutions and demonstrates the potential of such materials in space exploration.”鈥�

2. Dr. Carlo Iorio, Co-Director at the Centre for Research and Engineering in Space Technology, Universit茅 libre de Bruxelles, said: 鈥淭his parabolic flight campaign represents an important step for strengthening the collaboration between our Institute, Khalifa University, and the Research & Innovation Center for Graphene & 2D Materials. I am especially happy to motivate the young researchers involved in this campaign towards higher objectives and success. For them and the others that will come as part of this collaboration, the sky will no longer be the limit!鈥濃��

As part of its regular parabolic flight campaigns, the European Space Agency is responsible for flying experiments and the on-ground support. The outcomes of this project are expected to result in publications that will contribute to the scientific community. The project focuses on laser-propelled graphene produced at Khalifa University, from the Pilot Manufacturing joint project titled, Photonic Propulsion of Innovative Graphene-Based Space Material. The researchers will participate in the experiment that will lead to gathering of crucial experimental data.鈥�

A team of researchers from Khalifa University has developed an approach to model the behavior of woven fabrics under stress cycles. Modeling this allows manufacturers of aircraft components to choose the most appropriate materials.

The aerospace industry is continuously searching for materials that are lightweight but strong enough to resist the stresses and strains of flight. Advanced composite materials including 3D orthogonally woven fabrics (fibers woven at right angles) offer many unique features and benefits over other materials, but before they can be used, they need to be tested.

A team of researchers from Khalifa University has developed an approach to model the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer composite (FRPC) fabrics under stress cycles. Woven fabrics will compress and relax in a particular way that depends on the architecture and properties of the fabric reinforcement used in the manufacturing process. Modeling this allows manufacturers of aircraft components to choose the most appropriate materials.

The team included Siddhesh Kulkarni, Masters Student; Dr. Rehan Umer, Associate Professor; Prof. Wesley Cantwell, Aerospace Engineering; Khalid Alhammadi, Undergraduate Student; and Dr. Kamran Khan, Associate Professor. Their results were published in.

A composite material is a combination of materials designed to achieve specific structural or performance properties. FRPCs are one such type of composite used in aerospace applications. They are manufactured using liquid composite molding (LCM) processes, where a dry fabric reinforcement is kept between two molds and then compacted to a target thickness while a liquid resin is injected into the fabric.

FRPCs can enhance structural performance in an aircraft while reducing weight. Their high strength, load-bearing capability, high corrosion resistance, and enhanced durability makes FRPCs state-of-the-art materials in aerospace applications.

Fibers in such composites can be woven in either two or three dimensions, with 3D fabrics preferred for critical structural components, such as engine fan blades, as they offer higher stiffness and out-of-plane strength.

鈥淲oven fabrics exhibit a viscoelastic response that depends on the fiber reinforcement,鈥� Dr. Khan said. 鈥淭his means that the fabric鈥檚 stress response will depend not only on the deformation, but also on the rate of deformation during compaction.

Furthermore, when the fabric is held at a constant thickness after compaction, it exhibits relaxation of stresses. Therefore, the rate-dependent viscoelastic compaction response also needs to be considered when modeling the fabric鈥檚 behavior under various stresses.鈥�

The compaction behavior of fabric reinforcements demonstrates a unique, non-linear stress-deformation response curve. Using this knowledge, the team experimentally investigated the rate-dependent response of a 3D orthogonal woven fabric under different loads and developed a model to understand how the fabric would respond. Their model could also predict the fabric鈥檚 response to stress until the cycles of compaction and relaxation caused microstructural changes, which the team found became extensive after four rounds of testing.

鈥淭his work is a continuation of a project that focused on introducing 3D reinforcements in Aerospace composites such as the fan blade of an aircraft engine,鈥� Dr. Khan said. 鈥淭here are issues related to processing thick 3D preforms to achieve high fiber content and better resin permeability. The modeling work helps to predict mold clamping forces hence identifying strategies to inject resin in an LCM mold.鈥�

A team of researchers from Khalifa University and STRATA has investigated the ways in which parts manufactured for the aerospace industry may deform during the manufacturing process using simulation tools to predict these deformations before they happen.听

PhD student Mariam Ahmed Al-Dhaheri, Dr. Kamran Khan, Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering, Dr. Rehan Umer, Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering, and Prof. Wesley Cantwell, Director of the Advanced Research and Innovation Center (ARIC) and Associate Dean for Research, with Frank van Liempt, STRATA Manufacturing, reached accurate results in predicting the process-induced deformations of composite sandwich structures, with less than five percent error. Their research was funded by Mubadala Aerospace and published in.

A composite material combines various material ingredients to achieve specific structural properties. Polymer-matrix composite (PMC) materials are one such example used in aerospace applications.

PMC materials can enhance performance in an aircraft while reducing weight. Their high strength, stiffness, and toughness combined with low density make them the structural material of choice for aircraft components.

鈥淭he use of high-performance polymer-matrix composite materials in the aerospace industry has increased significantly in recent years, due largely to their high strength-to-weight ratio, immunity to corrosion, and excellent fatigue resistance,鈥� Al-Dhaheri said. 鈥淭hey were first used in secondary structures, but more than half of the recent Airbus A350 is made from PMCs, and the Boeing B787 uses PMCs in the nose structure.鈥�

However, PMCs are not immune to faults. One major issue is the potential for process-induced deformations (PIDs) that come from the manufacturing process itself, without any contribution from external factors. In aerospace manufacturing, these PIDs represent a significant concern during the design phase as they can cause difficulties during the final assembly.

鈥淎erospace composite structures are typically cured in an autoclave at high temperatures and pressures, involving a complex thermochemical cycle that cures the polymer matrix until it reaches a solid state yielding the required mechanical properties,鈥� Al-Dhaheri said. 鈥淎lthough the curing process strengthens the composite structure, it also introduces residual stresses that remain in the structure upon cooling.鈥�

When these parts are removed from the machinery that makes them, the material 鈥榬elaxes鈥� as it is removed from its strained condition on the tool. This can cause structural deformation. Parts that aren鈥檛 quite right will be challenging to assemble, forcing aircraft technicians to apply greater levels of force to make them fit, which could create internal stresses or even damage the overall structure. The parts may even be deemed unsuitable and fail the airworthiness tests.

鈥淧rocess-induced deformation is one of the main concerns during the manufacturing process of composite aerostructures,鈥� Al-Dhaheri explained. 鈥淭his is because residual stresses in the manufactured parts cause instability. Ultimately, this could lead to the part being rejected by the customer or even an expensive part being completely scrapped. Predicting these deformations numerically in the early design stages can help ensure conformity with the design and quality requirements.鈥�

PIDs can be compensated for by accounting for these deformations during the design stage, but this is a trial and error approach, which is expensive and inefficient. Alternatively, process modeling or computer simulation approaches can streamline the production process.

鈥淧IDs can be minimized by controlling specific parameters that contribute to the development of residual stresses,鈥� Al-Dhaheri said. 鈥淧revious research has studied the effects of these parameters on process-induced deformations, but they haven鈥檛 considered composite sandwich structures, mainly the warpage in flat panels and the spring-in of curved structures, which is what our research focused on.鈥�

Residual stresses are the internal stresses that develop during composite part processing. During curing, the materials undergo shrinking, and when cured into curved shapes, the angle between the two curved sides is reduced. This change in the angle is known as 鈥榮pring-in鈥�. Spring-in causes considerable difficulty and expense for composite manufacturers as it can vary with material, cure temperature, structure, and other manufacturing factors. This means that what worked once may not necessarily work the next time. If spring-in from residual stresses could be consistently and easily predicted, the manufacturing process could be tuned for specific part characteristics.

A large proportion of current aerospace composite components are light sandwich structures, where thin composite laminates constitute the 鈥榖read鈥�, and honeycomb cell walls make up the 鈥榮andwich filling鈥�. While light and strong, these structures are susceptible to damage and repairing them can be complicated. To date, there is little research into PIDs in sandwich structures, which the KU research team sought to rectify.

They used a simulation tool that can predict the occurrence of process-induced deformations in sandwich structures with a high degree of accuracy. They constructed a 3D finite element model of the composite part and simulates the curing process, as well as the interactions between the manufacturing tool and the part. From their simulations, the research team recommended that an aluminum core and aluminum tools should be used for manufacturing curved structures with reduced PIDs. They also recommended the sandwich design configuration to avoid large deformations in the final cured composite structure, compared to other designs.

While further experimental studies are needed to further validate the simulation findings, this represents a crucial tool to understanding the effects of various parameters on PIDs and improving the design and production process of airworthy composite parts.
