    • Gravity Effects on Fluid Front Dynamics during Mold Filling 

      K. A. Olivero; M. C. Altan (Journal of Composite Materials, 2001-07-01)
      The effect of gravity on free surface shape during the filling of a disk-shaped cavity is experimentally studied. A disk-shaped mold cavity is constructed to measure spreading of the fluid front due to gravity. Fluid front ...

    • Porosity Reduction in the High-Speed Processing of Glass-Fiber Composites by Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) 

      Harry J. Barraza; Youssef K. Hamidib; Levent Aktasb; ; Edgar A. O’Rear; M. C. Altan (Journal of Composite Materials, 2004-02-01)
      High-speed processing is essential to achieve lower production cost in the fabrication of fiber-reinforced composites with the current liquid molding practices. A major consequence of increasing the resin injection velocity ...
