New Technologies and Materials Used to Produce Lightweight Thin-Walled Structures | with Professor Andrzej Kubit
This seminar will focus on GFRP composites made from 3D Parabeam glass fabrics. These fabrics consist of two outer layers with cross-links, which define the composite thickness.
The cross-links enable the creation of sandwich structures through a single lamination process, reducing labor input in the production of rigid composites.
Key topics will include:
- Application of these composites in light-sport aircraft structures.
- Properties of the LITECOR metal-plastic composite and fatigue strength tests of composite joints with steel sheets.
- Plastic forming technologies for lightweight, thin-walled structures, including incremental sheet forming and traditional stamping in a punch-die system.
- RFSSW welding technology for joints in thin-walled structures.
The lecturer
Andrzej Kubit is a Associate Professor at the Rzeszow University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, Department of Manufacturing Processes and Production Engineering.
His main interests are new technologies for joining thin-walled stiffened structures used in the aerospace and automotive industries. Tests of structural joints under static, dynamic and fatigue loads.
Over 150 scientific publications on research on the properties of joints of thin-walled structures.
Over 30 patents regarding technology for producing thin-walled structures. Manager and contractor in many research projects related to testing joints of thin-walled load-bearing structures
His work has been recognized with two IEEE Best Paper Awards (RA-L; IROS) and third prize for the Best Ph.D. in Robotics in the UK.
He serves as Associate Editor for IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, technical chair for top robotics conferences (IROS, ICRA), and Program Chair for ICUAS 2025.
