Research abstract
The goal of this SBIR Phase I research is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing an innovative laser-based approach as a precision machining tool to machine fastener holes of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites for military aircraft use. The proposed technology is a model-based laser processing (MLP) system, with an eventual goal of the Phase II/III project to commercialize the developed technology. To achieve this goal, the technical objectives, the proposed MLP technology includes the following critical steps: 1) Modeling of laser machining of composite structures; 2) Testing and validation of basic laser machining strategies; 3) Adapting multiple energy sources; and 4) Designing MLP prototype system.
