- Aerospace Manufacturing Research Centre Overview
This centre has established itself as a leading research group of national significance. Since its inception in 1994, the Centre has been involved in a large number of substantive research projects. These vary from EPSRC funded projects to research funded directly by aerospace companies, many from the local region as well as from further afield including mainland Europe and the United States. The aim of the group is to provide a national centre of expertise for aerospace manufacturing research. The focus of the research is on providing pragmatic solutions that meet the needs of industry.
Fri, 10 Mar 2006 14:28:47 +0000 - AMRC Index
The University of the West of England (UWE) web developers have created new pages for our UWE centre Aerospace Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). This means it's possible for anyone to navigate from the main UWE site to our pages. There are also new Systems Engineering Estimation and Decision Support (SEEDS) pages. The new AMRC page is at http://www.uwe.ac.uk/cems/research/centres/amrc/index.html. The new SEEDS pages are at http://www.uwe.ac.uk/cems/research/centres/amrc/seeds.html and http://www.uwe.ac.uk/cems/research/centres/amrc/seedsresearch.html.

The RAMP project aims to investigate the further deployment of High Performance Machining (HPM) in the Aerospace industry, especially of new materials such as titanium, Waspalloy, and Jetheat. HPM technology is no longer novel but its utilisation within the aerospace industry is still limited, mainly for machining aluminium components.

On 13 September 2005 CEMS, in conjunction with INSPIRE South West, hosted a specialist seminar on developments in ultra high performance machining. INSPIRE South West aims to promote innovation in the region and is jointly funded by the South West RDA and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the European Union's 'Innovative Actions' programme.

UWE's MP521 simulator, a new product from the Merlin Flight Simulation Group, has a wide bodied capsule with a full width instrument panel and real-time visuals. The flight software is very sophisticated, and provides a full six-degree of freedom model. The capsule is mounted on a six axis hydraulic motion system, which provides a realistic flight feel for the aircraft designs being simulated. Model data is directly entered by the students, and does not require specific computer programming. The simulator provides a valuable link between theory and practice for students of Mechanics of Flight and Aerodynamics.
