教授
Kevin D Potter, National
Composites Centre Professor in Composites Manufacture, University of Bristol.
He graduated in Materials Science from Imperial College London in 1974 and was
awarded a PhD in Composites Manufacture from the University of Bristol in 2004.
His work in both academic and industrial settings has focused on design and
manufacture of composite materials and the products made from them, with a
strong emphasis on drape modelling, developing
processes such as Resin Transfer Moulding and automated processes such as Automated Fibre Placement and
robotic lay-up and the origins and impacts of defects in mouldings.
Abstract In the 50 years since strong and
stiff carbon fibres
became commercially available the advanced composites industry has progressed
from small scale and niche applications in defence and
space to being the structural material of first choice for large commercial
aircraft and is on the cusp of breaking through into automotive and other
sectors. This progress has been achieved due to the exceptional structural
performance available from carbon fibre composites compared to
conventional metallic solutions. However, that performance is only achieved
with great care in the manufacturing processes and at a high financial price.
Current research is targeting cost reductions and high volume manufacture through
automation, improved materials with more damage resistance, novel structural
forms to control damage growth, greater sustainability and recyclability of
composites, improved simulation for both processing and performance, and
multifunctional materials and structures.
