Creëren van niet-conventionele laminaten. KU Leuven
The purpose of the CANAL project is to develop new Non-Conventional Laminate (NCL) configurations using Dry Fibre Placement (DFP) and the establishment of engineering tools to ensure implementation of the technology in the aerospace industry and other industries, such as automotive that can benefit from rapid and cost effective production of complex shaped and high-performance composite parts. Whereas up to now composite laminates usually ...
Ontwikkeling van computationele en experimentele ruisbeoordelings- en onderdrukkingsmethodologieën voor de volgende generatie stille gedistribueerde voortstuwingsconfiguraties KU Leuven
Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) is particularly attractive from a noise reduction perspective since the induced high frequency noise is associated with: i) increased atmospheric absorption benefiting citizens and ii) improved structural shielding benefiting passengers as well as citizens. SilentProp specific objectives are:
-Performing an inclusive testing campaign within a modern and large anechoic wind tunnel configuration. ...
Actieve vermindering van geluid dat naar en van behuizingen wordt overgebracht door ingekapselde structuren KU Leuven
To better reduce exposure of people to noise and increase their acoustic comfort, innovative noise barriers should be developed. The overarching aim of IN-NOVA is to provide a top-level training for 10 Doctoral Candidates (DC) - MSCA Fellows plus 3 DCs funded by UK (supervised by UCL - 1 DC and UOS - 2DCs), in a wide variety of cutting-edge noise control technologies, developing a new generation of creative and entrepreneurial innovators. The ...
Trainingsnetwerk in niet-destructief testen en structurele gezondheidsmonitoring van vliegtuigstructuren KU Leuven
The “NDTonAIR” consortium involves Universities, Research Organisations and major European companies working on new Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) techniques for aerospace, of which both are key technologies. The goal is to train a new generation of scientists and engineers with a wide background of theoretical and experimental skills, capable of developing their research and entrepreneurial activities ...
Reductieaarding in cabine zonder geluid gecontroleerd door nieuwe luidsprekeruitschakeling KU Leuven
The current race for green mobility is changing the design philosophy in all engineering disciplines; this is tangible especially in aeronautical segment, where optimization and innovation are the key for a sustainable future mobility. In addition, the comfort of passengers is a critical issue for both, manufacturer and airlines, and the noise levels in the passenger cabin of turbopropeller-driven aircraft are typically higher than the levels ...
Europese voorspelling voor de atmosfeer informatiemiddelen 2.0 KU Leuven
This project aims at developing the world’s most advanced space weather forecasting tool. EUHFORIA 2.0 will address geoeffectiveness, impacts and mitigation, including extreme events, related to solar eruptions, solar wind streams and Solar Energetic Particles, with particular emphasis on its application to forecast Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) and radiation on geospace. We will apply innovative methods and state-of-the-art ...
Slim ontwerp van het oppervlak voor efficiënte ijsbescherming en controle KU Leuven
Icing affects the operational safety of much of our transport and general infrastructure. Although in the last decade there have been promising advancements in surface engineering and materials science, to achieve an effective and sustainable anti-icing technology requires that the physical processes involved in icing are better understood and applied to a rational design of anti-icing surfaces and systems. Furthermore, the arrival of hybrid ...
Innovatieve Al-legering voor vliegtuigconstructiedelen met behulp van additieve fabricagetechnologie KU Leuven
The main goal of AlForAMA project is to develop an innovative High Strength Al alloy, feasible by powder metallurgy and suitable for Selective Laser Melting (SLM), with improved weldability and increased mechanical and corrosion resistance in comparison to cast grades Al alloys currently employed in Additive Manufacturing (AM).
AlForAMA project is focused on powder bed based additive manufacturing (AM) of the innovative Al alloy. ...
