Download or read book Process Control for Resin Transfer Molding RTM written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents the results of the process control for a resin transfer molding (RTM) study. RTM is a composite materials processing method that involves placing a preform of dry reinforcement in a mold, injecting a thermoset resin into the mold, curing the resin, and demolding the finished part. This report describes the equipment and methodology for in-mold resin flow mapping and control. Mold port arrays are used to achieve directional control of in mold resin flow. A novel flow mapping system based on SMART Weave was implemented and tested. Combining the flow mapping and resin control schemes will lead to closed loop automation of the injection process.
Download or read book Resin Transfer Moulding written by K. Potter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resin Transfer Moulding provides readers with the information needed to design, develop and manufacture high components via an RTM route and provides a framework which readers can use to place their endeavours within an industrial context. Readers are presented with information to give them an understanding of the scientific and theoretical background to RTM, thereby giving them an understanding of the major constraints on the process. This background is then built on by an in-depth consideration of the technological details that are required to utilise the process effectively. To achieve all this the book presents detailed sections on all the essential topics in RTM finishing with a case study. Resin Transfer Moulding simplifies the introduction of RTM technology into organizations wishing to benefit from the opportunities it brings, by gathering together all the necessary information in a single volume.
Download or read book Interface Science and Composites written by Soo-Jin Park and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-07-18 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of Interface Science and Composites is to facilitate the manufacture of technological materials with optimized properties on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of the molecular structure of interfaces and their resulting influence on composite materials processes. From the early development of composites of various natures, the optimization of the interface has been of major importance. While there are many reference books available on composites, few deal specifically with the science and mechanics of the interface of materials and composites. Further, many recent advances in composite interfaces are scattered across the literature and are here assembled in a readily accessible form, bringing together recent developments in the field, both from the materials science and mechanics perspective, in a single convenient volume. The central theme of the book is tailoring the interface science of composites to optimize the basic physical principles rather than on the use of materials and the mechanical performance and structural integrity of composites with enhanced strength/stiffness and fracture toughness (or specific fracture resistance). It also deals mainly with interfaces in advanced composites made from high-performance fibers, such as glass, carbon, aramid, and some inorganic fibers, and matrix materials encompassing polymers, carbon, metals/alloys, and ceramics. Includes chapter on the development of a nanolevel dispersion of graphene particles in a polymer matrix Focus on tailoring the interface science of composites to optimize the basic physical principles Covers mainly interfaces in advanced composites made from high performance fibers

Download or read book Advanced Polymer Composite Molding Through Intelligent Process Analysis and Control written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this project. process analysis of Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) was carried out and adaptive process control models were developed. In addition, a non-invasive sensor was manufactured to monitor the filling pattern and provide feedback during adaptive control. Adaptive process control strategies based on several control models including linear model and recursive least square model were developed. Some of these models were implemented within a LabVIEW user interface. Simulation methodologies were also developed for comprehensive analysis of the RTM process. A transparent and flexible sensor array was fabricated to non-invasively monitor the fill front location. To analyze the sensor signal, LabVIEW programs were written in modules that can be embedded into the data acquisition system. Another sensor array with multiple sensing elements was also designed to simultaneously monitor both the fill front location and the degree of cure. The multiplexing electronics needed for this multi-element sensor array was fabricated. The first generation of this senor system was-used to monitor the fill front location in molds of varying thickness and material. This report presents the aforementioned work in three separate sections: (1) process analysis and adaptive control modeling, (2) manufacturing of non-invasive sensor, end (3) list of publications resulting from this project.

Download or read book Manufacturing Processes for Advanced Composites written by Flake C Campbell Jr and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-12-18 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • One of very few books available to cover this subject area. • A practical book with a wealth of detail.This book covers the major manufacturing processes for polymer matrix composites with an emphasis on continuous fibre-reinforced composites. It covers the major fabrication processes in detail.Very few books cover the details of fabrication and assembly processes for composites. This book is intended for the engineer who wants to learn more about composite processing: any one with some experience in composites should be able to read it. The author, who has 34 years experience in the aerospace industry, has intentionally left out mathematical models for processes so the book will be readable by the general engineer. It differs from other books on composites manufacturing in focussing almost solely on manufacturing processes, while not attempting to cover materials, test methods, mechanical properties and other areas of composites.
