Filling Time Reduction in Liquid Composite Molding Processes

Normal and Parallel Permeability of Preform Composite Materials used in Liquid Molding Processes: Analytical Solution

The permeability of the preform composite materials used in liquid molding processes such as resin transfer molding and structural reaction injection molding is a complex function of weave pattern and packing characteristics. The development of tools for predicting permeability as a function of these parameters is of great industrial importance. Such capability would speed process design and op...

Resin Flow Simulations in Liquid Composite Molding Processes: Recent Advances and Future Directions

Coupled Flow-thermal Scalable Process Modeling Simulations in Liquid Composite Molding of Composite Structures

Net-shape liquid composite molding (LCM) processes for the manufacturing of composite structures involve the permeation of a reactive thermoset polymeric resin through complex, fiber woven preforms. The physical behavior during the processing thus involves coupled multi-physics phenomena consisting of mass, thermal and species transport. The flow process models based on conservation of mass are...

LIMS - Liquid Injection Molding Simulation

design and analysis software solutions for composite structures for more than two decades. The software is continuously upgraded to reflect new research findings as well as to capitalize on advances in computing technology. Software applications such as CDS2.0, LIMS and MAT162 are used extensively by researchers at UD-CCM and industrial sponsors to predict material properties and behavior durin...

Review: Resin Composite Filling

The leading cause of oral pain and tooth loss is from caries and their treatment include restoration using amalgam, resin, porcelain and gold, endodontic therapy and extraction. Resin composite restorations have grown popular over the last half a century because it can take shades more similar to enamel. Here, we discuss the history and use of resin, comparison between amalgam and resin, clinic...
