Abstract
The consortium will develop the project focusing on research and development of fluid power manifolds: from this point of view the main final aim of the project is obtain an industrial-ready process to manufacture fluid power manifolds made of FRP. Fluid power manifolds made of FRP represent the first industrial step to accomplish in order to apply the FRP technology to further fluid power components. FRP manifolds present in fact all technical challenges common to other components: - High mechanical stress due to high pressure (200 bar) - High operational temperature due to temperature of power fluid (120 °C) - Interface between FRP material and metallic material where are needed mechanical connections with other components: for example steel threads for connection with cartridge valves. - Complex geometry - Vast deployment in several and different sectors - High cost of production with traditional machining process At the same time FRP manifolds are the simplest components to develop the FRP technology due to the absence of moving parts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
