Abstract

Composite materials are increasingly replacing conventional materials (e.g. steel, sheet metal, wood) in automotive production. Composite frames are also playing an important role in the development of new cars, SUVs and trucks. Composite frames are mainly used as reinforcements for chassis, cabs, doors, and other parts of cars. The modelling of production technology of composite frames with circular cross-section is described in the article. The winding head and the industrial robot are used for winding fibres onto a non-load-bearing frame. The most commonly used fibres are carbon, glass and aramid. The problem of winding a frame composed of several parts with different cross-sectional radii and continuous change of the winding angle is also addressed in the paper. Such frame composites are used when different loads are expected to be applied to the individual parts of the frame. During the winding process, several layers of fibres at different angles are wound simultaneously on the frame. The winding angles are determined by modelling the frame load using a suitable software tool (e.g. ANSYS, Abaqus).
