CX-029377: Energy Efficient, Rapid Manufacturing of Fiber Composites Using Machine Learning Enabled Ultrafast Radio Frequency Heating

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the University of Washington to perform experimental testing and simulations of carbon fiber/thermoplastic composites using radiofrequency fields for local heating and for the development of an automated welding platform for welding aerospace-grade composites.
