Experimental Characterization of Orientation Formation in a Mold Cavity with Sudden Contraction
(Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 1999-07-01)
Orientation formation of short fibers suspended in a flow through a planar mold cavity is experimentally analyzed. The suspension of corn syrup mixed with short fibers is injected into the mold at constant flow rate through ...
Effect of Injection Rate and Post-Fill Cure Pressure on Properties of Resin Transfer Molded Disks
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2002-08-01)
The effects of flow rate andpost-fill cure pressure, i.e., packing pressure, on the mechanical properties of resin transfer molded disks are experimentally investigated. An experimental molding setup is constructed to ...
Effect of Preform Thickness and Volume Fraction on Injection Pressure and Mechanical Properties of Resin Transfer Molded Composites
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2004-06-01)
An experimental study is performed to characterize the effect of the thickness of random preforms on injection pressure and mechanical properties of resin transfer molded (RTM) parts. Center-gated, disk-shaped parts are ...
