Resin infusion is a manufacturing process used to produce fibre-reinforced thermo-set
polymer components. This process is utilised in a range of industries such as aerospace …

Resin transfer molding and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding are two of the most
commonly used liquid composite molding processes. For resin transfer molding, mold filling …

This paper describes a methodology to obtain and analyse data in composite reinforcement
fabric compaction tests in dry and saturated conditions using a standard electromechanical …

Abstract Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRPs) are widely used due to their high
stiffness to weight ratios. A common process manufacturers use to increase the strength to …

Impregnation and in-plane resin flow of film-stacking material under compression process
were investigated. The understanding of this phenomenon is the key to optimize the …

Experimental permeability measurements saw a considerable increase in accuracy when
recommendations and guidelines were imposed upon the realization of two international …

The strain response and influence of elevated temperature on the viscoelastic behavior of
fabric in the compaction process cannot be described and predicted by current viscoelastic …

The main hurdles in Vacuum Infusion (VI) are the difficulty in achieving complete mold filling
and uniform part thickness. This study integrates process monitoring by full field thickness …

A woven fabric's compaction was modeled by using five viscoelastic models–Maxwell,
Kelvin-Voigt, Zener, Burgers, and Generalized Maxwell–to reveal the capabilities and …

Accurate permeability measurements depend on achieving consistent and reproducible
results across different characterization systems. In this study, permeability measurements …
