自动铺丝束在航空工业中的应用现状

Automated Tow Placement in the Aircraft Industry

自动铺丝束是在纤维缠绕与自动铺带基础上发展起来的，其应用比后两者任何一种都广，既可铺凸面也可铺凹面，同时还能跟踪复杂形状的构件。文中对自动铺丝束发展的背景、特点作了简介，重点放在应用实例上。

Automated tow placement has been evolved from filament winding and automated tape laying. It offers the ability to place materials on convex as well as concave surfaces. In addition it can be used to follow complex shaped parts. Automated tow placement, therefore is more versatile than either process above mentioned. In this article, a description of historical background and characteristics of the process is devoted with focus on its specific applications.
