AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, the identification of fabric defects in composite reinforcements relies on time-consuming visual inspection, which is prone to errors and makes it difficult to accurately detect the consistency between the actual reinforcement geometry and the theoretical shape, leading to performance changes and component rejection.

Method used

Artificial neural networks are used to automatically detect 3D images of composite material reinforcements. By training a database, fabric patterns are identified and the geometry of the reinforcements is reconstructed. Multilayer perceptrons or convolutional neural networks are used for automated detection and comparison.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables rapid and accurate identification of fabric defects, reduces the risk of errors, improves the consistency of thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of composite reinforcements, and reduces the system rejection rate.
