Datasets

  • View Datasets

    These datasets focus on the material characterisation tests that have been performed in the PIONEER project for one of the use cases which is related to the SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) process. The corresponding end-user employs a SMC50%CF prepreg which is composed of a vinyl ester resin and carbon fibre. The characterisation tests performed by Tekniker are enthalpy and cure kinetics on SMC50%CF prepreg and specific heat capacity and density on SMC50%CF fully cured coupons. Along with the datasets, a PDF document has been attached where the characterisation tests and data processing are explained to understand how these material properties have been obtained. The document also enumerates and describes the raw data files used to obtain such properties (included herewith) to make them understandable.

    This dataset collects data from various test coupons (walls) subjected to the wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process. This dataset has been generated involving two materials ER70S6 and ER110SG (denoted as M1 and M2 respectively), and considering a range of dwell times (30, 60, 90, 120, 240 seconds), to investigate the effect of heat accumulation during fabrication. Data collected includes the initial characterisation of the experiment (including material, CAD and manufacturing procedure data), thermal and distortion predictions from FEM simulation models, machine-independent process configuration data, multimodal monitoring from the WAAM process, metrology and distortion data, quality assurance data and testing (comprising micrography, macrography and hardness measurements).
