Numerical Modeling of Mold Filling and Curing in Non-Isothermal RTM Process (RESEARCH NOTE)
Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is a composite manufacturing process. A preformed fiber is placed in a closed mold and a viscous resin is injected into the mold. In this paper, a model is developed to predict the flow pattern, extent of reaction and temperature change during filling and curing in a thin rectangular mold. A numerical simulation is presented to predict the free surface and its inter...

متن کاملNumerical investigation of upward air-water annular, slug and bubbly flow regimes
In this paper, numerical investigation of upward two phase flow of air-water has been studied. Different conditions of flow regimes including annular, wispy annular, slug, churn and bubbly are simulated based on Hewitt and Roberts map, and a good agreement between the experimental data of the map and the numerical simulation has been observed. Accordingly, a proper CFD model in CFD software of ...
متن کاملApplication of Bare Piezoelectric Ceramics in Monitoring Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) Process
This paper investigates application of piezoelectric ceramics mounted on surface of mould to monitor flow front and curing phases of resin in Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) process. The piezoelectric ceramic is used for both generating ultrasound and measuring energy of echoed ultrasonic wave at the interface of mould and resin. One of the advantages of this method is that the piezoelectric cera...
متن کاملPotentiality of Optical Fibre Bragg Grating Sensors for Resin Transfer Moulding Process Monitoring
Resin transfer moulding (RTM) is a widely used process for manufacturing composite parts. It is currently gaining market shares compared to autoclave process in particular for high performance applications, such as aerospace, thanks to its higher versatility permitting the manufacturing of complex and high quality composite parts in fairly short cycle times. The major disadvantage of RTM remain...
