D-STANDART Project

D-STANDART is a European Project funded under Horizon Europe and aiming at the development of fatigue test standards and AI-Aided Models for Composite Structures. Advanced composites are gaining ground in many areas, especially aerospace, automotive and renewable energies, as they are lightweight and help to save energy. What is still missing are accurate and fast pre-production methods to optimise the durability of such large-scale composite structures. The aim of the EU-funded project D-STANDART is therefore to develop efficient methods to model the durability of large-scale composite structures of any design under realistic conditions. D-STANDART involves nine partners (three universities, two RTOs, two industrial companies and two SMEs) from four countries (France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom). The Advisory Board consists of six end-users (Rolls Royce, Fokker Aerostructures, Leonardo, Siemens Gamesa, Embraer, Coexpair) and will support the consortium by validating requirements, guiding the project’s approach to certification, and finally supporting results’ uptake in tight alignment with the European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC) and European Materials Characterisation Council (EMCC). Funded by the European Union under GA 101091409. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union.
