The main objectives of the research are to develop the science base for intelligent processing of composites and to develop methods for innovative utilization of composites. Specifically, the research addresses process monitoring, process characterization, mechanics of processing, processing-structure relations, structure-property relations, and the synergistic effect of anisotropy and heterogeneity. The research equipment (an autoclave) provides the critically needed capability to process composite materials. It will be used to develop optimum processing cyles, to identify critical manufacturing flaws, and to fabricate laminates and laminated structures in support of other composites research. Together with a filament winding machine currently available, the autoclave will allow the study of new material combinations and new structural concepts as well. The results of this research may provide the foundation for the development of integrated computer-aided manufacturing (ICAM) technology for composites. It is impossible to overemphasize the fact that the nation's technological leadership in the manufacture and application of this important class of materials cannot be maintained without a mature ICAM technology.

该研究的主要目的是开发科学基础，用于智能加工复合材料，并开发用于复合材料的创新利用方法。 具体而言，该研究涉及过程监测，过程表征，处理的机制，处理结构关系，结构 - 性关系关系以及各向异性和异质性的协同效应。 研究设备（高压釜）提供了处理复合材料的迫切需要的能力。 它将用于开发最佳的加工几元，以识别关键的制造缺陷，并制造层压层和层压结构以支持其他复合材料研究。 高压釜将与当前可用的细丝缠绕机一起研究，还可以研究新的材料组合和新的结构概念。这项研究的结果可能为复合材料的集成计算机辅助制造（ICAM）技术提供基础。 不可能过分强调这样一个事实，即如果没有成熟的ICAM技术，就无法维持国家在制造和应用这一重要材料中的技术领导。
