AMTRAS project aims to decrease preparation and assembly of different multifunctional testing benches based on:
The development of a flexible multiaxis actuator.
The development of a new shape-adaptive flexible tooling system to be used on clamping systems.
The development of a new deformation monitoring based on machine vision.
The integration of the technologies developed to get a new multifunctional Tests Rigs for multidimensional and multishape panels and structural test on Tail unit.
According to this and the topic scope, AMTRAS project will face four main challenges:
Objective 1:To design and develop flexible mechanical systems for integration on adaptive multifunctional Tests Rigs
To design shape-adaptive flexible tooling system.
To design Test Rig platform with several mounting position to ensure multishape adaptability.
Objective 2:To develop new monitoring systems based on machine vision
To define Non-contact monitoring technology applied to online distortion measurement for aeronautical structures and defects detection.
To develop a Machine Vision based deformation monitoring and measurement system.
Objective 3:To develop a numerical simulation model based on FEM
To develop numerical simulations tools to assist the conceptual/design/manufacturing stages of the adaptive multifunctional Test Rigs.
To perform high accuracy numerical simulation models to predict the results of the Tests.
Objective 4: To integrate and validate adaptive multifunctional Tests Rigs
To develop an adaptive multifunctional Test Rig for structural test of multidimensional and multishape panels.
To develop an adaptive multifunctional Test Rig for structural test on Tail unit.
To Start-up the test bench and performing the first operating tests and fine adjustment in the AIMEN facilities.
Delivery and final validation and adjustment in Topic Manager facilities.
