Note:
(SAM Category 1.1.1.) This Project is Developing the integrated software solution for certification and sustainment of rotorcraft primary composite structures – Analysis Software for Composite Rotorcraft Structures (ASCRS). Technical feasibility assessment of the technology at TRL 4 is emphasized. This prototype software will implement the essential capabilities relevant to FVL into CDMat, and will integrate the CDMat tool into a unique platform allowing non-destructive measurement of the material structure including as-manufactured part geometry and defects, automatic transition of NDI data into a FE model, and prediction of damage initiation and growth for digital twin-based structural integrity / fatigue analysis for Army Aviation. The objectives of the proposed effort are to: 1) Develop a comprehensive progressive damage and failure structural analysis toolset for Army Aviation – Analysis Software for Composite Rotorcraft Structures. 2) Extend capabilities of fatigue predictions for FVL-relevant components. 3) Integrate the analysis tool with non-destructive evaluation capturing manufactured damage. 4) Demonstrate the capability on the representative fatigue-critical structures. This is a prototype project because the Project Agreement Holder University of Texas Arlington Advanced Materials and Structures Lab (AMSL) will develop a model to evaluate the technical feasibility of the anticipated enhancements / project objectives.
