Maîtrise du placement des renforts et suivi de la cuisson par fibres optiques à réseaux de Bragg

In order to analyse the influence of the mesostructure of filament wound cylinders on their mechanical behaviour it is essential both to control the fabrication process and to use advanced measurement techniques, such as fiber optic Bragg gratings, to study their behaviour. In this research project advances in unit cell precision positioning are presented. This paper includes a description of the composite pipe, monitoring during fabrication, a pipe reinforcement architecture analysis system and a study of the influence of architecture on mechanical properties.
