Composite manufacturing processing

The composite manufacturing process was manually operated and inconsistencies due to the human factors required more conservative operating conditions. If the process was automated the process conditions would approach the optimal operating conditions predicted here. 

Specialized Equations for Various Polymer Matrix Composite Manufacturing Processes. . 167... 

Specific balance equations for various polymer matrix composites manufacturing processes (i.e., RTM, IP, and AP) have been obtained by simplifying the balance equations. Particular attention has been paid to state all the assumptions used to arrive at the final equations clearly in order to clearly show the range of applicability of the equations. Moreover, appropriate numerical techniques for solution of these coupled partial differential equations have been briefly outlined and a few example simulations have been performed.

A special case occurs when two dissolution profiles are compared. This is often the case when a change has been introduced in the composition, manufacturing process or manufacturing site. The aim is then to maintain the same dissolution properties as for the original version. Such comparisons of dissolution profiles are performed by calculating a similarity factor, f2, which is calculated as follows from cumulative mean data (Shah et al. 1998) ... 

Now, it is not commonly realized that by moving from a neat HDPE to a filled composite material, the lifetime of the resulting composite dramatically lowers, often by 50-100 times. That is, the OIT in Table 15.2 for composite materials can decrease to as low as 0.3-0.5 min, if no antioxidants are added in the composite manufacturing process. Actual drop in the OIT value largely depends on the compounding process (on shearing and heating effects first of all), on type of fillers, colorants, lubricants, and, of course, type and amount of added antioxidants, if any. 

Structural reaction injection molding (SRIM) maybe considered as a natural evolution ofRIM. It is a very attractive composite manufacturing process for producing large, complex structural parts economically. The basic concepts of the SRIM process are shown in Figure 2.57. A preformed reinforcement is placed in a... 

The processing characteristics required of glass fibres include choppability, low static build up, conformance to complex shape, etc. and resin compatibility requirements such as fast wet out, good fibre/matrlx adhesion, etc. Thus glass fibres are available with characteristics which are designed to make them suitable for whichever of the composite manufacturing processes is to be used.

Partly due to their porous structures, plant fibers present high thermal, electrical and acoustical insulation performance and they can be incorporated in biocomposites produced for these causes [49]. Huda and Yang [7] measured the sound absorption capacity of corn husk and jute reinforced PP composites. They found their noise reduction is comparable, and higher sound absorption was achieved when the corn husks xmder-went enzyme treatment before composite manufacturing process. It should be considered that moisture absortion substantially deteriorates heat and electrical insulation performance [71]. 

Like other FRP composites, pultrusion products exhibit a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, good electrical insulation and better dimensional stability. In addition, pultrusion offers additional advantages over other composite manufacturing processes (Sumerak and Martin, 1987) ... 

Alternate heating using microwave has proved an energy and time saving scheme for resin curing in many composites manufacturing processes including pultrusion.
