Voids, the most studied type of manufacturing defects, form very often in processing of fiber-
reinforced composites. Due to their considerable influence on physical and …

Optimization of process parameters of major aerospace composites manufacturing
techniques is essential for manufacturing high-quality aerospace components. However …

In this study, we present a review of the modeling of void formation and unsaturated flow in
liquid composite molding processes. We examine modeling efforts considering all the …

The present investigation was performed to study the effect of titanium carbide (TiC)
nanoparticles and coir fiber as hybrid reinforcements on the physical, mechanical …

This work aims at assessing the effect of the stacking sequence of hybrid laminates on the
3D void formation through a statistical approach. For that purpose, a three-dimensional …

With the development of X-ray computed tomography over the last few decades, it is
gradually considered to be a powerful tool in the field of materials research. This paper …

Vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) is a liquid composite molding (LCM)
technique used to manufacture large scale composite structures. Fiber preforms are placed …

Plant fibre composites contain typically a relative large amount of porosity, which
considerably influences properties and performance of the composites. The large porosity …

High‐performance fiber‐reinforced thermoset composites processed by additive
manufacturing (3D printing) are attracting substantial attention in both academic and …

Voids have a substantial impact on the mechanical properties of composite laminates and
can lead to premature failure of composite parts. Optical microscopy is a commonly …
