Fiber reinforced resin matrix composites are more and more widely used in aerospace and
automobile manufacturing industries. However, the probability of manufacturing defects in …

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 …

Engineering structures are often subjected to the conditions of cyclic-loading, which onsets
material fatigue, detrimentally affecting the service-life and damage tolerance of components …

In recent years, most boat fabrication companies use 100% synthetic fiber-reinforced
composite materials, due to their high performance of mechanical properties. In the new …

This paper deals with the static and dynamic behavior of Functionally Graded Carbon
Nanotubes (FG-CNT)-reinforced porous sandwich (PMPV) polymer plate. The model of …

The additive manufacturing of structural composites is a disruptive technology currently
limited by its moderate mechanical properties. Continuous fibre reinforcements have …

Several natural fibres such as hemp, flax, sisal, kenaf and jute have been used in different
industrial applications. Recently, natural fibres have drawn the interest of researchers …

Several consolidation cycles were performed to study the impact of processing parameters
on void content, ultrasonic NDT and mechanical performance of CF/PEEK composites. A …

Void formation as a function of resin moisture content was investigated to better understand
and control process defects in composite parts made from prepreg. In this study, uncured …

We propose modeling and simulation of the void formation and the tow saturation in liquid
composite molding processes. The present model addresses the void formations in the …
