Optimal Design and Testing of a Thermoplastic Pressurized Passenger Door Manufactured Using Thermoforming

Abstract: The present paper documents and discusses research work associated with a newly designed passenger door structure demonstrator. The composite structure was manufactured from carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin. A composite frame with a variable cross-section was designed, optimized, and fabricated using thermoforming technology. Both numerical simulations and experiments supported structural verification according to the damage tolerance philosophy; i.e., impact damage is presented. The Tsai-Wu and max… Show more

“…Conventional processes employed to obtain the final product using thermoplastic prepregs include the thermoforming process [41][42][43][44], as shown in Figure 2a, and the overmolding process [45,46] with the thermoformed preform, as shown in Figure 2b. The thermoforming process is a process of forming prepreg into final products or preforms with a high temperature mold.…”

“…In 2016, Kim et al assessed the impregnation quality of flax fiber textile reinforced thermoplastic composites manufactured in the CRTM process and compared the process cycle time and mechanical properties of the manufactured final parts with previously reported conventional processes in the literature [51]. In 2019, Studer et Conventional processes employed to obtain the final product using thermoplastic prepregs include the thermoforming process [41][42][43][44], as shown in Figure 2a, and the overmolding process [45,46] with the thermoformed preform, as shown in Figure 2b.
