The fundamentals of flow in the liquid composite moulding (LCM) processes are reviewed
with an emphasis on multiphase flow effects considering the dual-scale thin porous media …

Despite of the fact that more and more accessory devices are integrated to functionalize a
ballistic helmet system, its core ballistic protective function needs to be improved with weight …

Competitiveness drives the aerospace industries to investigate new technology solutions to
address market pressure and high-tech demands. The global objective is to reduce to half …

This chapter examines the role of reinforcement in composites. This is fundamentally one of
the key parameters for increasing the mechanical properties of the matrix system. The matrix …

The preforming process of dry fiber fabric usually involves compaction under constant
pressure and specific temperature during fiber-reinforced composite manufacturing. The …

To reduce the cycle time of structural, automotive thermoplastic composites, we investigated
the potential of direct thermoplastic melt impregnation of glass fabrics using an injection …

Thick-section composite parts are difficult to manufacture using thermosetting resins due to
their exothermic curing reaction. If processing is not carefully controlled, the build-up of heat …

In the present study, the effects of yarn thickness, fabric lamination (such as number of fabric
plies) and sizing content on resin impregnation behavior in carbon fiber reinforced …

Determining the compaction behavior of fibrous material is essential for fiber reinforced
composites manufacturing processes. The compression state directly influences both fiber …

Abstract Wet Compression Moulding (WCM) provides large-scale production potential for
continuously fibre-reinforced structural components due to simultaneous infiltration and …
