Two experimental set-ups used to characterise the in-plane and through-thickness permeabilities of reinforcing textiles have been developed are presented. Both testing data processing techniques selected ensure that characterisation is completed in an efficient robust method, increasing repeatability tests while minimising user induced errors as well time resources needed. A number key results outputs obtained presented from carried out on a plain woven textile with range layers at different...
The resin infusion process has developed as a low-cost method to produce large composite parts in low medium quantities. Although the is conceptually simple, effects of many processing parameters on post-filling stage are not well understood. Most manufacturers tend develop their approach through trial and error, then adhere ‘secret recipe’ without knowledge effect each parameter. This paper describes an experimental investigation controllable final laminate composition, by monitoring local...
Resin infusion is a manufacturing process used to produce fibre-reinforced thermo-set polymer components. This utilised in range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, rail and defense cheaper method when compared other closed mould or autoclave methods, particularly the size parts increases. In this study, wet compaction characteristics behaviour three glass fibre reinforcements were analysed, 2D panels manufactured with selection inlet vent pressure combinations during both...
Biocomposite panels consisting of biobased thermoset resins (EP, PU, UP, and tannin) flax fibre reinforcements were produced using the vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding process. Panels based on a conventional chemical-based matrix also produced, investigated comparatively. Rheometric analyses performed to evaluate suitability these for liquid composite moulding. Tensile, shear, impactbending tests have been carried out assess quality mechanical performance manufactured laminates. The...
This paper describes a method to characterise the influence of in-plane shear on permeability fibrous preforms used in liquid composite moulding processes. An optical for measuring local variation woven textile is presented and conjunction with an measurement system. Two flax fibre fabrics were tested compared glass fabric similar architecture. The system here can be either as validation tool prediction models or compile semi-empirical use process simulation tools.
Abstract Delamination still remains one of the common concerns in continuous fibers reinforced polymer composites. In literature, incorporation nanoconstituents into constitutive composites plies has been suggested with aim improving interface toughness. this study, vertically aligned carbon nanotubes forests (VACNTs) are transferred at interfaces, and mode I (DCB tests) II (ENF fracture tests carried out on composite samples. Microscopic analysis reference nano‐engineered help to understand...
