Abstract:

A path planning algorithm for composite fiber placement is proposed. First the determination for fiber placement is discussed. On the basis of the fiber placement reference curves obtained through the central curves of the core mould, the fiber placement path generation algorithm is designed for 0°, 45° and 90° placement directions. Furthermore, the corresponding relation between fiber number and placement path is established.
