Abstract

Technical properties of composite materials highly depend on their distribution of fibre and matrix components. To combine these two components in the best possible configuration a variety of technologies has been developed. However a remaining challenge is that all semi finished products have decisive tolerances that may interact during production and lower the level of structural performance. To avoid extended safety margins, a variety of strategies has been developed to maximize reproducibility in the crucial production steps by detecting and compensating dominating tolerance issues in the process chain.
