This project addresses the need for economical methods of processing,           to final complex shapes, composite structural materials having high-            temperature thermoplastic polymer matrices.  The research includes              development of the die-less forming process, a very innovative                  approach to the forming of materials containing continuous                      reinforcing fibers.  Potential advantages of the die-less forming               process include a great reduction in equipment size for large                   components, elimination of the cost and lead time for dies, and                 flexibility and automation in processing.  The research also includes           basic investigation of the phenomena and physical mechanisms                    governing the processing of thermoplastic composites to final complex           shapes (especially those unique to thermoplastics), and the                     development of quantitative models to predict those phenomena during            processing.  This research encompasses infiltration and in-plane                deformation behavior within individual plies, ply                               autohesion/delamination response (to be investigated in situ using              fluorescence techniques, and including the possible accelerating                effect on autohesion of concurrent deformation).  The research will             be conducted by an interdisciplinary team of researchers in                     collaboration with industry which should significantly advance the              processing science and ensure technology transfer.
