ADAPTIVE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE USING SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS

A method for fabricating a composite structure. The method involves: placing a mandrel between first and second susceptors disposed between first and second tooling dies of an induction heating workcell; energizing one or more induction coils of the induction heating workcell to produce alternating...

Zusammenfassung:	A method for fabricating a composite structure. The method involves: placing a mandrel between first and second susceptors disposed between first and second tooling dies of an induction heating workcell; energizing one or more induction coils of the induction heating workcell to produce alternating magnetic fields which cause the first and second susceptors to produce heat; de-energizing the induction coils of the induction heating workcell after a composite structure has been formed; removing the mandrel and composite structure from the induction heating workcell; and separating the mandrel from the composite structure.
