Abstract
European aircraft industry demands for reduced development and operating costs, by 20% and 50% in the short and long term, respectively. The 4-year running project COCOMAT contributes to this aim by reducing structural weight at safe design; it exploits considerable reserves in primary fibre composite fuselage structures by accurate and reliable simulation of collapse. Collapse is specified by that point of the load - displacement-curve where a sharp decrease occurs thus limiting the load carrying capacity. COCOMAT, which is supported by the European Commission within the 6th Framework Programme started on 1 January 2004. This paper deals with the main objectives and expected results of the project as well as the planned theoretical and experimental work.

N1 - Funding information: European aircraft industry demands for reduced development and operating costs, by 20% and 50% in the short and long term, respectively. Supported by the European Commission the 4-year project COCOMAT, which started in January 2004, contributes to this aim. COCOMAT stands for Improved MATerial Exploitation at Safe Design of COmposite Airframe Structures by Accurate Simulation of Collapse and is co-ordinated by DLR, Institute of Composite Structures and Adaptive Systems. The project aims at allowing for a structural weight reduction by exploiting considerable reserves in primary fibre composite fuselage structures through an accurate and reliable simulation of postbuckling and collapse. The project COCOMAT is supported by the European Commission, Priority Aeronautics and Space, Contract AST3-CT-2003-502723. The information in this paper is provided as is and no warranty is given that the information is fit for any particular purpose.
