3 AIM-C Alignment Tool The objective of the AIM-C Program is to provide concepts, an approach, and tools that can accelerate the insertion of composite materials into DoD systems. AIM-C Accomplishes This Three Ways Methodology - Evaluates the historical roadblocks to effective implementation of composites and offers a process or protocol to eliminate these roadblocks and a strategy to expand the use of the systems and processes developed. Product Development -Provides a software tool that facilitates evaluation of composite materials for various applications. Demonstration/Validation - Provides a mechanism for acceptance by primary users of the system and validation by those responsible for certification of the applications in which the new materials may be used. All tasks in Phase 1 support development of a Phase 2 Transition Program Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited

4 Accelerated Insertion of Materials Is Achieved in AIM-C Methodology by Focusing on Real Insertion Needs (er Knowledge Base) Approach for coordinated use of Existing Knowledge Validated Analysis tools Focused Testing Application of Physics Based Material & Structural Analysis Methods Use of Integrated Engineering Processes & Simulations Uncertainty Analysis and Management Early Feature Based Demonstration Tracking of Variability and Error Propagation Across Scales Rework Avoidance Disciplined approach for pedigree management rchestrated Knowledge Management to efficiently tie together the above elements to DKB

5 How Does the IPT Use AIM-C Methodology? Master Knowledge Base Commit Document Readiness Conformance Assessment Knowledge Generation Problem Statement Plan to Meet Requirements Define Application Requirements Requirements Conformance Planning Knowledge Base

6 Knowledge Gathering Technology Readiness Levels Detail or x Readiness Levels The Same Linkage Used To Flow Down Requirements Is Used to Roll Up Knowledge And Track Progress as er Knowledge is Gathered. Exit Criteria Worksheet Use of Prior Knowledge Recommended Analyses Recommended Tests Recommended Combination of Prior Knowledge / Analysis /Test Integrated Product Team Chooses How To Meet Each Exit Criteria

7 The AIM-C Process Uses an Integrated Product Team to Commit Data to the Knowledge Base Materials Systems Engineering Certification Supportability Assembly Cost Knowledge Base Legal/Rights Producibility Strength Schedule Durability

8 Use of AIM-C Web-Based System Delivery Process Guidance and Risk Reduction Status Hat plies x direction Noodle and skin x direction AIM-C Contains Analytical Models From Constituents To Processing To Effects of Defects To Provide Analysis Supported by Test To Technology Readiness To Structural Reqs.

9 Handling Uncertainty The AIM-C Approach The First Step is Identifying and Understanding potential error sources Maintains Visibility of potential errors Forces step-by-step breakdown of the analysis/test process Forces agreement on responses of interest Classifying them allows the team to determine appropriate strategies for addressing them. Types: Aleatory Uncertainty (Variability, Stochastic Uncertainty) Epistemic Uncertainty (Lack of Knowledge, e.g., unknown geometry) Known Errors (e.g., mesh convergence, round-off error) Unknown Errors (Mistakes, e.g. wrong material inputs used) Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited

10 Handling Uncertainty The AIM-C Approach Prior knowledge is useful in determining likelihood of occurrence. 6 Number of Composite Mnfg. Defects Per Year 5 Example: Past experience with Similar designs suggest that 3/4 of Stiffened panel defects are: Delaminations Cure Cycle Inconformities Ply wrinkles, or Voids/Porosity 4 Number of Defects /G SC R AT ST EP C N D IT I N U G ED /N IC M KE IS L D C /M IS AL IG N ED U T F C N T IN U R C LU SI N (F..D.)

11 Handling Uncertainty The AIM-C Approach Quantifying Uncertainty If its important, and you can t remove it by design, quantify it. Testing or Probabilistic Analysis Tools are applied.

12 Data from Knowledge, Analysis, and Test Combined Data Allowables with Uncertainty Data contain replicates => can estimate stress allowables (quantiles with confidence bands) RDCS allows simulation of physical data with sources of randomness including batch effects (aleatory or random uncertainty) => can simulate allowables. Combined data: allowables with uncertainty bands Bayesian uncertainty band on allowable Allowable estimate = quantile with confidence band. This is the aleatory content Aleatory and Bayesian are kept separate
