Research abstract
We propose to apply 3-dimensional fiber braiding to the net-shape fabrication of a composite-material rotorcraft part. The braid will be tailored to meet the specific requirements of the selected part. In the Phase I program the ability to 3D braid a complicated rotorcraft component in net shape was demonstrated in sub-scale. Mechanical tests were performed using coupons made from the 3D braided material. Test data showed acceptable mechanical properties. In the Phase II effort, DET will work with an OEM to demonstrate the design, fabrication and testing of the rotorcraft component.
