Manufacturing processes Flashcards
Composites
Robotic Materials
- sensing
- actuation
- computation
- communication into composites
types of composites
particle reinforced
fibre-reinforced
structural
Form: fibres/sheet/particles and matrix
particle reinforced structural
- concreet, portland cement + water
fibre reinforced
- carbon fibre sheets
- carbon fibre + resin
laminar
- plywood layered together
wood + wood glue
Moulding and Lamination
Weaving
resin layered up, bag system, releasing agents, pressurizing it
Pultrusion
a manufacturing process that converts fibre reinforcements and resin matrices into finished composite parts.
Filament Winding
Laminated veneer Lumber
multiple layers of thin wood assembled with glue
Joining Techniques
using adhesives to connect two items
glueing, welding, fusing,
- low cost, easily used and is easy to apply
bond may be weak and break easy, fumes, takes time to set/dry
Using Fasteners
connecting materials/devices to bind two or more materials together
(screws, buttons, nails, nut, pins, bolts)
they simplify the manufacture of machines and their usage, provide safety
Welding
STICK -
MIG
TIG
Brazing, Spot Welding, & Soldering
