Design, build and testing project of a composite beam

The objective of this project is to design, build and test a representative aircraft component made from composite materials. The component in question is an undercarriage stay beam, and it will be subjected to a combined load case with axial, bending and torsional forces. The beam was manufactured via hand lay-up with prepreg material. The fibres were cut either by hand or using a ply cutter. The plies were laid up by hand on a male tooling. The male tooling was a 3D printed sand mould and was removed via wash out with water. The beam was vacuum bagged and cured in an autoclave.
