This is a five-year, $2,910,936 definitive contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center to Convergent Manufacturing Technologies US Inc., a for-profit organization. The contract is for the development of physics-based process models to simulate the formation of defects in the automated fiber placement process and the cure process of complex composite structures.
Key milestones include developing preliminary models in Years 1-2 to predict defects like wrinkles, puckering, fiber waviness, and porosity, and then further refining the models in Years 3-4 to provide quantitative predictions of process parameters to reduce these defects. The ultimate goal is to fully implement the models in a commercial off-the-shelf environment. This contract is not a set-aside award.
