3D structures of woodF³ - formable, firm, fire resistant
Abstract
Wood F3 stands for firm (=mechanically stable), fire-resistant and formable wood structures. In previous projects (WoodC.A.R., MoveWOOD, CARpenTiER, etc.), on the one hand, the calculability of wood-based materials by means of numerical methods has been demonstrated, making it possible today to calculate and design wood-hybrid materials using state-of-the-art FE-methods. On the other hand, it has been demonstrated in projects (e.g. Strong Cellulose Composites) that high-performance materials can be produced from wood by densification of veneers. Basic studies on biomimetic approaches for the creation of freely 3D-formable wood structures with high fracture energy provided interesting results. Therefore, the objective of the project is to combine the results from the different projects to new ambitious targets, thus creating the possibility to create high quality and high-performance bio-composites from low value hardwood resources to meet the requirements of the aircraft and automotive industries. Two basic construction principles of wood-based composites are followed for the production of highly densified wood composites: Strand or particle-based materials and veneer-based shell structures. If necessary, the developed materials and structures will be reinforced with (natural) fibres and combined with other materials (metals, plastics). In addition to the ambitious scientific goals, the consortium is pursuing the implementation of the results in demonstrators for the aircraft and automotive industries.
