Mathematical and Computational Framework for Virtual Fabrication Environment for Aircraft Components

Abstract

This project had a general and a specific objective. The general objective was to investigate the question of how mathematical problems should be formulated so that they can serve as reliable and accurate representations of physical reality in the sense that they will provide predictions of events or states of systems that can be confirmed consistently by physical observations. The construction of such mathematical models involves processes, the main elements of which are calibration, prediction, evaluation and modification. The specific objective was the development of the mathematical and computational aspects of a knowledge base needed for the creation of a virtual fabrication environment for aircraft components manufactured from 7050-T7451 aluminum plate stock so that the incidence of re-working and scrapping of partially or fully manufactured parts can be substantially reduced.
