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 use of composite materials reinforced by flax fibres has been increasing steadily over
the last 20 years. These fibres show attractive mechanical properties but also some …

A comprehensive review of experimental and analytical studies since 1990 on the variability
of permeability induced by fibrous media (reinforcement) distortions across the composite …

Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a composite processing technique in which a fiber preform
(usually consisting of fiber tows woven or stitched together) is enclosed in a cavity between …

A review of computational modelling and simulation of pultrusion processes is presented
including such aspects as: resin flow and pressure distribution in a forming die; …

Capillarity plays a crucial role in many natural and engineered systems, ranging from
nutrient delivery in plants to functional textiles for wear comfort or thermal heat pipes for heat …

Pressure gradients that drive the resin flow during liquid composite moulding (LCM)
processes can be very low while manufacturing large composite parts. Capillary pressure …

Tomographic imaging using both microfocus radiation and synchrotron radiation was
performed to assess the void defects in resin transfer moulded woven carbon fibre …
