This study investigates the permeability-porosity relationship for glass and natural fiber mats.
The estimation of the permeability-porosity relationship for glass mats is not new and has …

The 3D woven fabrics have superior mechanical behaviours thanks to their extraordinary
structural design and properties. By this means, they and their reinforced composites have …

Transverse compaction of textile composite reinforcements is an important deformation
mode arising during composite forming and manufacture. The mesoscopic simulations of the …

The compression of a typical fibre plain woven cloth was studied experimentally by
performing a series of mechanical tests on dry and resin impregnated cloths and from …

Macro-and micro-impregnation of molten thermoplastic polyamide 6.6 into glass and carbon
fabrics during continuous manufacturing using a double belt press was investigated …

This paper focuses on the compression of fibre reinforcements during the processing of
polymer composites, covering a range of fabrics, namely a plain weave, a twill, a satin and a …

Correct modeling of resin flow in liquid composite molding (LCM) processes is important for
accurate simulation of the mold-filling process. Recent experiments indicate that the physics …

In many cases of composite processing by liquid matrix impregnation, the fiber
reinforcement is compressed when it comes in contact with the liquid and then relaxes as …

With nesting between adjacent layers and inter-layer packing, the microstructure and the
compaction behaviour of a multilayer woven fabric preform are much more complicated than …

Resin flow during Compression Resin Transfer Molding (CRTM) can be best described and
analyzed in three phases. In the first phase, a gap is created by holding the upper mold …
