This paper presents a software, ELLIPSE-COMP-2009, for the simulation and the control of ellipsoidal mandrels winding in the manufacturing of composite structures. The winding machine is controlled by a numerical-control unit. The deposit point of the fibre on the mandrel follows the geodesic lines to optimise the consumption of the ribbon and avoid fibres sliding over the mandrel.In this paper, we determine the geodesic line over ellipsoidal structures, subsequently the coordinates of the feed-eye in the space; leading to stabilise the fibre setting by synchronizing the mandrel rotation and the feed-eye displacement.The case in which the cross section of the ellipsoidal structure remain constant has been studied and published as ELLIPS-COMP-2002 /!/, case of winding right beams with elliptical cross section. ELLIPSE-COMP-2009 presented on this paper is an extension of ELLIPSE-COMP-2002 to the winding of conical beam with elliptical cross section.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
