Additive Manufacturing of Cockpit Interior Component and Fatigue Property Testing

The CAE flight training services and flight simulators provide the future pilots with digital immersion experience and operational support solutions. Currently, additive manufacturing is found to be a valid way to fabricate the cockpit interior components with lower lead time and accelerate the product development. In order to understand the fatigue behaviors of printed component with different materials, settings and explore the possibility of additive manufactured structures, the proposed objectives of this project are: 1) to investigate the proper printing parameters and settings that avoid printing defects 2) to test the fatigue property and mechanism of the printed part under expected/maximum load. Finally, the requirement of composite reinforcement and interactions with the composite material will be analyzed.
