Description
Joining different materials is important in aeroplane structures.Fibre reinforced composites have high tensile but limited bearing strength. A proper load transfer into the FRP structure can improve capacity of mechanical joints.The main goal of PROJOINT is to design a mechanical joint with enriched bearing performance of a composite panel. The particular tasks are to study the local phenomena and benefits of laminate modification in the hole vicinity.Knowledge of mechanical joints of composite elements will increase the project team experience. Results will be presented on conferences and in renowned journals. A basis for further applicable research (considering material and technological aspects) will be provided.The load transfer, in a gradual way, using shear stress will be examined taking into account various metal inserts shapes and contents. Material properties (including interlaminar) will be determined with DIC, strain gauges, SE and non-destructive methods.
Summary of project results
Owing to the implementation of the project, it was possible to define the key directions and research needs in the field of adsorption C02 capture technologies, from energy and other industrial plants, and strengthening the competences of Principal Investigator. The two main objectives of the projects, i.e. to develop a high-efficiency adsorption technology based on advanced CO2 sorbents for near-zero emission from energy and other industrial plants, and thus to support the of the scientific career of Principal Investigator, have been attained. Ali activities planned in the project, i.e. the laboratory tests of advanced sorbents, the pilot tests of the adsorption CO2 capture technology and the tests of the adsorption CO2 stream purification method, have been carried out. The short-term outeomes, namely the scientific traineeship at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research and the Technology Centrę Mongstad (Norway), an intensive English language course abroad, the author's publications in scientific and trade jouraals, conferences proceedings, participation in thematic conferences both in Poland and in worldwide, a cycle of lectures on the near-zero emissions gas processing technology from energy and other industrial plants, the publication of the monograph "High-efficiency adsorption technology based on advanced CO2 sorbents for near-zero emission from energy and other industrial plants ", and the publication of the academic textbook "CCS -What Is It?" - an overview for non-specialist readers, and managerial and research teams, have also been achieved. The scientific and research potential developed under project may contribute to the development of the CCS technology. The Polish-Norwegian cooperation conducted under the project has enabled the transfer of knowledge due to the huge Norwegian experience in the field of the CCS technology. In addition, the cooperation between the energy and the industrial sectors has proyided access to competences and resources necessary to promote the implementation of the research and technological activities. The Principle Investigator has popularized the knowledge of CCS technologies.
