The resin transfer molding (RTM) process is widely used to fabricate carbon fiber reinforced
composite structures. However, conventional RTM processes are limited with regard to …

In compression resin transfer moulding (CRTM), resin flows inside a mould filled with fibrous
reinforcement as a result of resin injection and mould compression. This process facilitates …

Fluid transport is one of the most frequently observed phenomena in the processing and end
uses of fibrous materials. Fibrous materials have a unique structure of complex geometry …

A process cycle of resin transfer molding (RTM) consists of two sequential stages, ie filling
and curing stages. These two stages are interrelated in non-isothermal processes so that the …

Resin transfer molding is a popular manufacturing process for composite materials because
of its ability to manufacture complex-shaped parts with high efficiency and low pollution …

Composite industry increasingly uses natural fibres because of their environment-friendly
advantages. These natural fibres may swell during the mould filling process when they …

An in situ gas flow method has been developed to determine the quality of fibrous preforms
in resin transfer molding (RTM) prior to injection. Defects resulting from preform …

The role of initiators with different reactivities on the process cycle of nonisothermal resin
transfer molding (RTM) was examined using the numerical simulation. A new process model …

The numerical simulation of a mass and heat transfer model for the curing stage of the resin
transfer molding (RTM) process is known as a useful method to analyze the process before …

Fibre reinforced composites with glass, carbon or aramid embedded in polymer matrices are
more and more used as structural elements for highly loaded applications. They combine …
