▼ ALes travaux présentés sont une contribution à l’élaboration de composites à matrices thermoplastiques (TP) par un procédé de type Liquid Composite Molding non réactif pour l’industrie automobile. La thèse a été effectuée dans le cadre du projet ANR TAPAS (ThermoplAstic Process for Automotive composite Structure) et s’est focalisée sur la mise en œuvre de plaques composites en renfort continu injectées avec des matrices polyamides 6,6 (PA 6,6) de hautes fluidités par Resin Transfer Molding. Le premier objectif est porté sur l’optimisation des cadences d’injection à travers l’étude de la perméabilité de préformes unidirectionnelles (UD) en fibres de verre et à hauts modules mécaniques. L’architecture de ces UD a ainsi été modifiée de manière à faciliter les écoulements. La perméabilité des différents tissus a pu être évaluée par un couplage entre des mesures expérimentales et une modélisation analytique basée sur un raisonnement à deux échelles de pores : l’écoulement intra et inter-torons. Le deuxième objectif sur lequel les travaux de thèse se sont concentrés s’est reposé sur la maitrise de l’état d’imprégnation par le bais d’une étude complète sur les phénomènes qui se déroulent à l’interface entre la fibre et la matrice à haute température. Plusieurs viscosités et formulations du PA 6,6 ainsi qu’un traitement appliqué sur le verre ont pu être caractérisés et discutés en termes de mouillabilité et d’adhésion. Enfin, la dernière partie du manuscrit présente les résultats obtenus sur les plaques mises en œuvre par RTM-TP en injection in-plane. Les conditions optimales de fonctionnement ainsi que les aspects de saturation, de santé matière et des propriétés mécaniques sont ensuite présentés et discutés.
The present work is a contribution to the thermoplastic composites manufacturing by a non-reactive Liquid Composite Molding process for the automotive industry. The thesis was carried out by the « ANR TAPAS » project (Thermoplastic Process for Automotive Composite Structure) and was focused on the elaboration of continious-fiber reinforced composites plates injected with a high-fluidity polyamide 6,6 (PA 6,6) by the Resin Transfer Molding process. The first goal was focused on increasing injection rates through the study of the in-plane permeability of unidirectional (UD) glass fiber fabrics with high mechanical modulus (HM). Experiments and modelling results showed that the permeability of these UD has been enhanced by modifying specific structural parameters of their architecture. The analytical model developped and used is based on a flow distribution according two differents scales of porosity : in and inter-yarns. The second part of the work was focused on the understanding of phenomenas that take place at the interface created between glass fiber and the matrix during the impregnation step. The wettability and adhesion of molten PA 6,6 dropped on a glass substrate is studied at different processing temperature. The last part introduce the thermoplastic composite plates elaborated by RTM-TP process. The optimum…

▼ Les matériaux composites ont connu ces dernières années une forte croissance, croissance aujourd'hui renforcée par les nouvelles normes européenne visant à diminuer les émissions CO2 d'ici 2020. La réalisation de pièces complexes peut poser de nombreuses problématiques de fabrication comme la formation de zones sèches, ou la création de distorsions géométriques. Les origines de ces problématiques sont souvent liées à un manque de connaissance et de maîtrise des phases d'imprégnation des renforts et de cuisson du matériau. L'amélioration de la robustesse des procédés nécessite d'avoir une connaissance fine des phénomènes physiques qui ont lieu lors de l'élaboration. Dans cette perspective, les procédés d'élaboration de matériaux composites ont été étudiés à travers la mise en place d'un démonstrateur de laboratoire dans le cadre du projet LCM Smart. Ce pilote d'injection a permis de valider des solutions d'instrumentation, à partir de capteurs innovants (OFS) développés en partenariat avec le laboratoire d'optique Hubert Curien.L'application de cette instrumentation dans le cadre du suivi du procédé RTM a démontré les capacités des OFS pour le suivi des caractéristiques physiques de la pièce (le front d'écoulement, la température, les déformations résiduelles et le degré de cuisson). La comparaison des caractéristiques mesurées avec des simulations numériques effectuées en collaboration avec ESI, a montré une bonne corrélation.Enfin, l'instrumentation a permis de mettre en évidence l’intérêt d’un outillage composite en HexTool pour la réduction des contraintes résiduelles liées à l'interaction outil/pièce.
A significant growth in production and consumption of composite materials can be seen recently; growth reinforced by the new European standards, aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by the year 2020.The producing of complex parts can cause many difficulties for manufacturing because of their geometries and / or their constituents (using of various materials). For example, dry zones or geometric distortion formation. The origins of these difficulties are often related to a lack of knowledge and control of the reinforcement's impregnation phases and material curing.Improving the robustness of the processes demands a detailed knowledge of physical phenomena that occur during the producing. For this, we studied the composite materials production through the implementation of a laboratory demonstrator in the project LCM Smart. This pilot injection was used to validate instrumentation solutions, from innovative sensors (OFS) developed in partnership with the optical laboratory Hubert Curien. The application of this instrumentation in the context of RTM process monitoring in the development of simple parts has demonstrated the capabilities of OFS to control physical characteristics of the part (the flow front, temperature, residual strain and curing degree). The comparison of the measured characteristics with numerical simulations carried out in collaboration with ESI showed a good correlation.Finally, instrumentation has…

▼ De nos jours, l’intégration de pièces composites dans les produits intéresse de plus en plus les industriels, particulièrement dans le domaine des transports. En effet, ces matériaux présentent de nombreux avantages, notamment celui de permettre une diminution de la masse des pièces lorsqu’ils sont correctement exploités. Pour concevoir ces pièces, plusieurs procédés peuvent être utilisés, parmi lesquels le RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) qui consiste en la mise en forme d’un renfort sec (préformage) avant une étape d’injection de résine. Cette étude concerne la première étape du procédé RTM, celle de préformage. L’objectif est de mettre en œuvre une stratégie efficace conduisant à la simulation par éléments finis de la mise en forme des renforts à l’échelle mésoscopique. A cette échelle, le renfort fibreux est modélisé par un enchevêtrement de mèches supposées homogènes. Plusieurs étapes sont alors nécessaires et donc étudiées ici pour atteindre cet objectif. La première consiste à créer un modèle géométrique 3D le plus réaliste possible des cellules élémentaires des renforts considérés. Elle est réalisée grâce à la mise en œuvre d’une stratégie itérative basée sur deux propriétés. D’une part, la cohérence, qui permet d’assurer une bonne description du contact entre les mèches, c'est-à-dire, que le modèle ne contient ni vides ni interpénétrations au niveau de la zone de contact. D’autre part, la variation de la forme des sections de la mèche le long de sa trajectoire qui permet de coller au mieux à la géométrie évolutive des mèches dans le renfort. Grâce à ce modèle et à une définition libre par l’utilisateur de l’architecture tissée, un modèle représentatif de tout type de renfort (2D, interlock) peut être obtenu. La seconde étape consiste à créer un maillage hexaédrique 3D cohérant de ces cellules élémentaires. Basé sur la géométrie obtenue à la première étape. L’outil de maillage créé permet de mailler automatiquement tout type de mèche, quelle que soit sa trajectoire et la forme de ses sections. La troisième étape à franchir consiste, à partir du comportement mécanique du matériau constitutif des fibres et de la structure de la mèche, à mettre en place une loi de comportement du matériau homogène équivalent à un matériau fibreux. Basé sur les récents développements expérimentaux et numériques en matière de loi de comportement de structures fibreuses, un nouveau modèle de comportement est présenté et implémenté. Enfin, une étude des différents paramètres intervenant dans les calculs en dynamique explicite est réalisée. Ces deux derniers points permettent à la fois de faire converger rapidement les calculs et de se rapprocher de la réalité de la déformation des renforts. L’ensemble de la chaîne de modélisation/simulation des renforts fibreux à l’échelle mésoscopique ainsi créée est validée par comparaison d’essais numériques et expérimentaux de renforts sous sollicitations simples.
Nowadays, manufacturers, especially in transport, are increasingly interested in integrating composite parts into their products.…

▼ Les transducteurs ultrasonores font l'objet de nombreux développements en contrôle non-destructif (CND) industriel. Utilisé ponctuellement et périodiquement, le CND ultrasonore permet d'établir des diagnostics sur la santé des matériaux. La caractérisation ultrasonore en temps réel constitue un outil de surveillance de l'évolution des propriétés physiques lors de la fabrication des matériaux composites. Dans ce contexte, des études sont menées au LOMC pour optimiser le procédé de fabrication des matériaux composites par RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) afin d’améliorer la qualité du produit. Ce travail de thèse consiste à développer des méthodes ultrasonores pour le suivi des propriétés viscoélastiques d’un composite pendant la phase de production. Les propriétés viscoélastiques sont étudiées à l’aide de modèles théoriques, de simulations numériques et de résultats expérimentaux. Des études de calibration ont été menées afin d’étudier les facteurs d’influence sur le suivi de propriétés ultrasonores lors de la mise en oeuvre d’un procédé RTM. Le suivi des paramètres viscoélastiques de résines époxy est effectué dans un premier temps à basse température au cours d'une polymérisation isotherme et d’une post-cuisson. Ensuite, une approche basée sur la méthode de caractérisation en émission/transmission a été développée afin d’étudier le comportement à haute température. La modélisation de la réponse électroacoustique par série de Debye (DSM) a été effectuée en se basant sur des approches analytiques. L’utilisation des transducteurs multiéléments permet la localisation et le dimensionnement de défauts lors du déplacement de fibres de carbone dans une résine liquide, entre des moules.
The developments based on ultrasonic transducers are nowadays numerous in the industrial non-destructive testing (NDT). Used punctually and periodically, the ultrasonic NDT is used for health diagnostics of materials. Ultrasonic characterization in real time allows a physical properties monitoring during the manufacturing of composite materials. In this context, studies are conducted in LOMC in view to optimize the manufacturing process of composite materials using RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) in order to improve the product quality. This work consists to develop ultrasonic methods for the monitoring of viscoelastic properties during the production phase of composites. The viscoelastic properties are studied using theoretical models, numerical simulations and experimental measurements. Calibration studies were carried out to study the influencing factors on the monitoring of ultrasonic properties during the RTM process. The monitoring of viscoelastic parameters of epoxy resins is performed in a first time at low temperature during an isothermal polymerization and a post-curing. Then, an approach based on the transmission mode characterization was developed to study high-temperature behavior. Based on analytical approaches, the electroacoustic response was simulated by Debye series method (DSM). The use of phased array transducers was…

▼ A promising alternative to glass fibre reinforced plastics are composites based on natural fibres and biobased plastics, so called Natural Fibre Composites. NPSP composites is market leader in the development and the usage of this technology. Nonetheless the material is relatively young and needs a lot of R&D. The material push asks for an eye-catching application that can enhance demand and thus research:
Can we design and create a high performance Natural Fibre Composite product, showing its qualities and leading the way for future designers?
The consumer market is a good market to create awareness of a new material. A longboard is a product that touches on the sports and lifestyle market. These markets have a high positive press release potential and as a boarder myself I see possibilities in this blooming market. This ‘cool’ transportation product emphasizes the balance between performance and looks. It can present the good mechanical properties as well as the pleasing aesthetics of natural composites. It is a simple, tangible product, with the possibility to completely grasp and elaborate on the entire product development process.

▼ Composite materials have the potential to revolutionize life in the 21st century. They are contributing significantly to developments in aerospace, hydrogen fuel cells, electronics and space exploration today. While a number of composite material processing methods exist,
resin transfer molding (
RTM) has the potential of becoming the dominant low-cost process for the fabrication of large, high-performance products.
RTM has many advantages over alternative processes, including the capability of producing complex 3D shapes with a good surface finish, the incorporation of cores and inserts, a tight control over fiber placement and
resin volume fraction and the possibility of embedding sensors into manufactured components for structural health monitoring. Part of the reason
RTM has not received widespread use is due to its drawbacks such as its relatively trial and error nature, race tracking, washout, high cycle time and void formation. The basic operation of the process involves loading a fiber reinforcement preform into a mold cavity, closing the mold, injecting
resin into the mold and allowing the
resin to cure. To study the
resin transfer molding process and issues affecting it, a laboratory containing an experimental
RTM apparatus has been established. The apparatus has a glass window to observe the mold filling process and can incorporate various mold shapes such as a quasi-2D panel, a 3-D rectangular section and a 3-D semicircular section. To characterize the flow through the molds a commercial CFD software has been used. This thesis describes the establishment of this laboratory and preliminary studies that have been conducted.

▼ Le procédé « Resin Transfer Molding » (RTM) est très largement utilisé pour la production industrielle de matériaux composites à matrice thermodurcissable. En effet, de nombreux domaines tels que l’automobile et l’aéronautique l’emploi couramment. Dans ce travail nous avons adapté ce procédé à la mise en œuvre de matériaux composites à matrice thermoplastique afin de répondre aux critères écologiques et économiques imposés aux industries. Pour cela plusieurs étapes ont été nécessaires. La première fut la sélection d’une chimie robuste, adaptée aux exigences du procédé (faible viscosité initiale du système réactif, temps de polymérisation court, etc). La chimie choisie fut la polymérisation anionique par ouverture de cycle de l’ε-caprolactame dans le but d’obtenir du polyamide-6 (PA-6). Une étude rhéo-cinétique ainsi que les caractérisations physico-chimiques d’un PA-6 obtenu au laboratoire furent réalisé. A la suite de cette étape, des essais en conditions de procédé ont été effectué avec l’utilisation d’un équipement pilote dédié. Ces essais furent la source de modifications et d’optimisations de certains paramètres du procédé. La troisième étape, a consisté à la production de pièces composites avec un renfort de type : tissu unidirectionnel de verre. Cette production fut suivie de tests mécaniques et physico-chimiques afin d’évaluer les propriétés de ces pièces. Différents ensimages de tissu ont été étudiés avec, pour objectif, la détermination de celui offrant les meilleures propriétés. Durant cette étude nous avons observé que la nature de l’ensimage impactait peu la chimie. Pour finir, nous avons mis en place un ensimage réactif qui permettra une meilleure interaction fibre/matrice.
The "Resin Transfer Molding" (RTM) process is very largely used for the industrial production of composites materials with thermoset matrix. Indeed, it’s used by many fields such as the automotive and aeronautics. In this work we adapted this process to the manufacture of composite materials with thermoplastic matrix in order to answer the ecological and economic criteria imposed on industries. For that several steps were necessary. The first was the selection of a robust chemistry, adapted to the requirements of the process (low initial viscosity of the reactive system, polymerization time, etc). The selected chemistry, was the ring opening polymerization of ε - caprolactam to obtain polyamide-6 (PA-6). Rhéo-kinetics studies, as well as the physicochemical characterizations of a Pa-6 obtained at the laboratory were carried out. Following this step, tests in conditions of process were carried out with the use of dedicated pilot equipment. These tests were the source of modifications and optimizations of certain parameters of the process. The third step, consisted with the production of composite parts with a reinforcement of the type: unidirectional glass fabric. This production was followed mechanical and physico-chemical tests in order to evaluate the properties of these parts. Various sizing of the glass fabric were studied…

▼ Le contexte environnemental actuel conduit les constructeurs automobiles à diminuer les émissions globales de CO2. Afin de répondre à cet objectif, plusieurs voies sont accessibles mais l’allègement de la structure du véhicule apparaît comme la solution la plus prometteuse grâce à la substitution des pièces métalliques par des matériaux composites et plus particulièrement des composites thermoplastiques à matrices acryliques. Cette étude s’est donc intéressée à développer et caractériser plusieurs formulations à base acrylique afin d’identifier les différents leviers (choix du monomère / condition de polymérisation) permettant d’atteindre une polymérisation rapide (< 3 à 5 min) adaptée aux hautes cadences de l’industrie automobile. Le moulage par transfert de résine (RTM) ayant été choisi comme procédé de mise en œuvre, une seconde étape de travail a été de caractériser l’évolution de la viscosité au cours de la polymérisation. En disposant des mesures cinétiques et rhéologiques, il a aussi été possible, par modèle inverse, de proposer un suivi in-situ de la polymérisation via la corrélation des données par des mesures diélectrométriques. Puis, dans une optique d’amélioration de la tenue chimique du PMMA, la synthèse d’un polymère réversible présentant alternativement une structure tridimensionnelle et une structure linéaire a été réalisée. Ainsi, grâce à la préparation d’un comonomère présentant des fonctions Diels-Alder, il a été possible d’obtenir un polymère ayant la capacité d’emprunter les propriétés de résistance chimique des réseaux thermodurcissables tout en conservant l’aptitude à la transformation des thermoplastiques. Enfin, une dernière étude s’est portée sur le renforcement du PMMA par mélange avec différents polymères. Ainsi, grâce à un choix judicieux de polymères présentant des caractéristiques physico-chimiques intéressantes, il a été possible d’améliorer significativement la tenue en température mais également la résistance au choc de la matrice acrylique développée.
Nowadays, polymer matrix composites are widely used for aerospace, automotive, railway and sport industries. For similar structural properties, these materials coul be very attractive since they could be 30 to 40% lighter than metallic counterparts. In the current context of environmental development issues, thermoplastic-based composites, (in our case acrylic matrix based one), can be considered as they can be easily recycled as opposed to thermoset-based ones. Furthermore, they could exhibit good mechanical properties, i.e. stiffness and impact resistance, enabling them to be relevant for many applications. Manufacturing structural composites requires to produce parts without defects having complex geometries. For this purpose Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) has been selected to process such composites. Indeed, it corresponds to a low temperature closed-mold process allowing for manufacturing complex continuous fiber-based-reinforced parts. However, it requires precursors with a very low viscosity (η < 1 Pa.s) to ensure a good…

▼ Advanced composite materials are becoming increasingly more valuable in a plethora of engineering applications due to properties such as tailorability, low specific strength and stiffness and resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Compared to more traditional metallic and ceramic materials, advanced composites such as carbon, aramid or glass reinforced plastic are relatively new and still require research to optimize their capabilities. Three areas that composites stand to benefit from improvement are processing, damage detection and life prediction. Fiber optic sensors and piezoelectric transducers show great potential for advances in these areas. This dissertation presents
the research performed on improving the efficiency of advanced composite materials through the use of embedded fiber optic sensors and surface mounted piezoelectric transducers.
Embedded fiber optic sensors are used to detect the presence of
resin during the injection stage of
resin transfer molding, monitor the degree of cure and predict the remaining useful life while in service. A sophisticated
resin transfer molding apparatus was developed with the ability of embedding fiber optics into the composite and a glass viewing window so that
resin flow sensors could be verified visually. A novel technique for embedding optical fiber into both 2- and 3-D structures was developed. A theoretical model to predict the remaining useful life was developed
and a systematic test program was conducted to verify this model.
A network of piezoelectric transducers was bonded to a composite panel in order
to develop a structural health monitoring algorithm capable of detecting and locating
damage in a composite structure. A network configuration was introduced that
allows for a modular expansion of the system to accommodate larger structures and
an algorithm based on damage progression history was developed to implement the
network.
The details and results of this research are contained in four manuscripts that are
included in Appendices A-D while the body of the dissertation provides background
information and a summary of the results.

▼ Cette thèse s’intéresse à la fabrication de pièces composites par le procédé Resin Transfert Molding (ou RTM), appliquée à des tubes de protection thermiques. Plus particulièrement, cette thèse vise à démontrer la faisabilité d’utiliser ce procédé pour la fabrication cette pièce complexe. La phase d’imprégnation de préformes sèches est plus particulièrement étudiée. Après mise en oeuvre, cette pièce peut présenter des défauts tels que de la porosité ou des déplacements de plis constituant la préforme. L’objectif de cette thèse est donc de comprendre l’origine de ces défauts et de minimiser voire de d’empêcher leur apparition. Pour cela, une démarche expérimentale a été mise en place. Celle ci comprend la réalisation d’un pilote de laboratoire permettant d’appliquer différentes conditions d’imprégnation aux préformes considérées. La perméabilité des renforts considérés a aussi été évaluée à différentes échelles grâce à l’utilisation de moyen dédiés à l’échelle macroscopique (banc de perméabilité planaire et transverse), et grâce à l’utilisation d’un code de calcul se basant sur des images de tomographie synchrotron à l’échelle microscopique. Enfin, une analyse de la qualité des prototypes réalisés a été menée en suivant des procédures mises en place lors de ce projet et les résultats analysés et mis en relation avec les conditions de mise en oeuvre. Cette approche expérimentale est couplée aux simulations numériques de la phase d’imprégnation que nous avons aussi mise en oeuvre au cours de cette thèse. Par l’utilisation combinée de la simulation numérique et des essais expérimentaux, nous avons défini des critères estimant le risque d’apparition des défauts. Ces critères ont montré leur efficacité sur les solutions innovantes que nous avons proposées puisque répondant aux exigences du cahier des charges industriel.
This work concerns the manufacturing of composite parts using the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process. A major goal of this study is to test the feasibility of using this process to manufacture a thick tubular part with a complex shape. This study concerns the different stages of the process with an important focus on the injection step of dry preforms. The goal of this thesis is to understand the generation of manufacturing defect (mainly porosity and preform deformation) that possibly takes place during the injection step to avoid them. An experimental procedure is proposed. An experimental setup was developed to study the influence of the different process parameters on the quality of the composite parts. The determination of the longitudinal and through the thickness permeabilities was conducted experimentally on sheared and un-sheared samples. An alternative technique to estimate the permeability is presented based on simulation software using X-ray tomography images at the microscale. At last, a quality control procedure was developed and applied to the tubes manufactured within this project. This experimental work was compared to numerical simulations of the injection stage. Using both numerical…

▼ L’utilisation de composites à matrice thermodurcissable et fibres continues est en constante progression dans le secteur aéronautique, ferroviaire, et automobile. Afin d’améliorer les composites obtenus, notamment leur résistance à l’impact et leur conductivité électrique, des nanocharges organiques ou inorganiques peuvent être ajoutées. Les nanotubes de carbone (CNT) font partie des candidats les plus prometteurs pour le renforcement de composites à multi-échelle. Cependant, il s’avère difficile de contrôler la dispersion, la répartition et l’orientation des CNT, après les avoir mélangés aux prépolymères. Une nouvelle stratégie d’insertion des CNT dans un composite consiste à combiner des fibres de CNT avec des fibres de carbone. L’orientation et l’organisation structurelle des CNT au sein de la fibre permettent d’obtenir d’excellentes propriétés mécaniques et électriques. Dans notre étude, les propriétés de fibres contenant exclusivement des CNT, obtenues par direct spinning, ont été comparées à celles de fibres de carbone (non-ensimées, ensimées, et CNT en surface). Différentes interfaces entre les fibres de CNT, fibres de carbone et deux types de matrices époxy (de TG très différentes) ont été générées et testées par des essais de fragmentation de fibre dans la matrice. La contrainte de cisaillement interfaciale fibre/matrice a été évaluée afin de déterminer l’influence des diverses fibres et ensimages sur les performances mécaniques de composites à matrice organique et à fibres continues. En outre, la nature de l’adhésion et la qualité de l’interphase entre la matrice et la fibre ont été caractérisées par plusieurs techniques d’analyses et d’observations à multi-échelles.
Nowadays, polymer-matrix composites reinforced with carbon fibers are increasingly used in the whole transport sector (aerospace, automotive and railway industries). However, the obtained parts still suffer from low impact resistance and low damage tolerance. To improve these properties, the matrix precursors have to be combined with organic or inorganic compounds to lead to multi-phased matrices. Among them, carbon nanotubes (CNT) are especially promising for targeting multi-scale reinforcement. Since high quality of the parts are required, continuous-fibers-reinforced composites can be produced by resin transfer molding (RTM) which also offers a reduced cost if compared with high temperature- and high pressure-based processes. However, RTM requires a very low viscosity of the polymer precursors and CNT-filled precursors are far too viscous to be injected on dry performs. In addition, this strategy does not allow for a control of the CNT location and orientation in the final part. In this study, innovative ways have been developed to insert CNT in the preform with local positioning and defined orientation. Deliveries of CNT in the matrix, from a neat carbon multi-nanotubes fiber produced by direct spinning, or from a CNT grown on carbon fiber were investigated in two types of epoxy matrices (with very different TG). Different polymer…

▼ L’intégration des contraintes d’industrialisation, des pièces en matériaux composites, en conception préliminaire, est un enjeu majeur de la compétitivité des entreprises, et s’inscrit dans une démarche de développement durable. Un travail de captation et de mise en forme de la connaissance industrielle a permis de développer une stratégie d’optimisation. Cette stratégie repose sur une approche multi-métiers, elle permet d’estimer la performance technique et économique d’une solution d’industrialisation. L’estimation de la performance est basée sur l’évaluation, pour chaque solution d’industrialisation, du risque de rupture du composant assemblé, du niveau d’intégration fonctionnelle et du coût de fabrication. La définition de la meilleure alternative est obtenue par la comparaison de la performance de solutions et s’appuie sur des méthodes et outils d’aide à la décision. Le risque de rupture est estimé à partir des écarts entre des caractéristiques de la pièce fabriquée par procédé
Resin Transfer Molding (
RTM) et les caractéristiques nominales. Les caractéristiques de la pièce fabriquée prises en compte sont : - les écarts géométriques, - les écarts de caractéristiques mécaniques. Dans l’industrie aéronautique, certaines pièces de structure en matériaux composites sont réalisées par le procédé
RTM. Dans ce type de mise en forme, les caractéristiques mécaniques du composant sont directement liées au niveau d’imprégnation de la préforme. Dans le travail de thèse, les défauts d’imprégnation sont identifiés comme des écarts volumiques d’imprégnation. Ces écarts ont pour conséquence d’altérer les propriétés mécaniques du matériau qui constitue la pièce. L’estimation des écarts volumiques d’imprégnation est obtenue à partir de l’analyse des résultats de la simulation par éléments finis de l’écoulement de résine dans le renfort fibreux (logiciel Pam RTM®). La géométrie de la pièce obtenue par procédé
RTM diffère de la géométrie nominale, cet écart est due en partie aux différences entre les caractéristiques physiques des constituants du matériau composite. Les variations géométriques de la pièce fabriquée sont identifiées comme des écarts géométriques de fabrication. Les écarts géométriques sont compensés, lors de la phase d’assemblage, par des déformations garantissant les contacts avec les pièces adjacentes. Ces déformations génèrent un état de contraintes mécaniques au sein de la pièce. La quantification de l’état de contraintes mécaniques est obtenue à partir d’une simulation thermomécanique par éléments finis réalisée par le logiciel Samcef®. L’aide à la décision est basée sur l’étude combinée de l’état de contraintes mécaniques due à la compensation des écarts géométriques et de l’incidence des écarts volumiques d’imprégnation sur les propriétés mécaniques de la pièce. Trois critères permettent d’estimer le risque de rupture du composant assemblé : un critère de rupture des matériaux composites quantifie le risque de rupture, les deux autres critères, prenant en compte les défauts d’imprégnation, majorent le risque…

▼ Cette thèse traite la fabrication de pièces composites par le procédé « Resin Transert Molding » (RTM), appliquée à des tubes de protections thermiques assemblées dans des propulseurs de systèmes d’armes. Ces travaux ont pour objectif de démontrer la faisabilité d’utilisation de ce procédé pour la fabrication de ces pièces complexes. C’est le préformage, première étape du procédé de fabrication par RTM, qui est étudié dans le cadre de cette thèse. Cette étape est cruciale du point de vue de la faisabilité de l’étape d’injection qui la suit dans le procédé RTM mais aussi pour s’assurer de la qualité de la pièce composite finale obtenue. L’objectif des travaux de thèse est triple. Il faut tout d’abord développer le protocole de fabrication répétable adapté pour garantir l’obtention de préformes conformes. Ce protocole devra être viable du point de vue industriel. Pour cela, une démarche expérimentale a été mise en place. Un pilote de laboratoire puis un pilote industriel ont permis de comprendre et maitriser les phénomènes survenant en cours de préformage en faisant varier les paramètres procédé pour la fabrication de nombreux prototypes. Un modèle macroscopique prédictif de la forme globale des plis obtenus à partir des paramètres procédés a été développé à l’aide des observations expérimentales. Un modèle mésoscopique, à l’échelle de la maille élémentaire, a été écrit également. Il permet de prédire, à partir des données constitutives du matériau et d’une géométrie de pièce, la déformation de compaction et de cisaillement, modes de sollicitations prépondérants en cours de préformage, subie par le renfort en cours de la première étape du procédé de fabrication. Ces modèles mésoscopique et macroscopique couplés permettent le développement d’un outil global qui, de manière théorique et prédictive, assure la faisabilité d’une pièce de géométrie connue avec un matériau connu et fournit les paramètres « procédé » optimum pour assurer sa fabrication future. Les phénomènes de déformation en cisaillement et compaction apparaissant sur la tresse en cours de préformage sont donc identifiés et connus. Le procédé de fabrication est optimisé et l’outil prédictif permet d’envisager et tester en amont un changement de matériau, de géométrie de pièce à fabriquer ou de cahier descharges industriel.
This study deals with the manufacture of composite parts by the process "Resin Transert Molding" (RTM), applied to thermal protection tubes. This work aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using this method for the production of these complex parts. This study deals with the first step of the RTM process, the fiber performing. This is critical from the standpoint of the feasibility of injecting step that follows in the RTM process but also to ensure the quality of the final composite part obtained. The aim of the thesis is threefold. Must first develop the manufacturing protocol adapted to ensure repeatable obtaining preforms compliant. This protocol should be viable to the industrial point of view. For this purpose, an experimental…

▼ "The objective of the present study is to develop non-autoclave processes to manufacture high performance composites for aerospace applications. In Paper 1, vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process was developed for elevated temperature composites. Use of VARTM process for fabricating high temperature resins presents unique challenges such as high porosity and low fiber volume contents. Two different vacuum bagging methods: Seeman Composite Resin Infusion Molding Process (SCRIMP) and Double Vacuum Bagging Infusion (DVBI) process were evaluated. Flow simulation tool was used to predict key flow parameters needed for the successful infusion. In Paper 2, honeycomb sandwich panels were manufactured using commercially available film adhesive and modified VARTM process. The resin incursion into the core openings is a major challenge for applying VARTM process to open cell core sandwich composites. Panels manufactured using the developed process did not show any resin accumulation in the core. The mechanical performance of the manufactured sandwich composites was evaluated. Results indicate that the VARTM process can be successfully used to manufacture honeycomb composite sandwich structures using currently available barrier adhesive films. In Paper 3, a new generation vacuum-bag-only cure out-of-autoclave (OOA) manufacturing process was studied. Physical and mechanical performance of the composites was evaluated. The influence of size, lay-up configuration, thickness and their interactions on the impact behavior of the composites was studied using Design of Experiments (DoE)" – Abstract, page iv.

▼ This thesis is an overview of the resin transfer
molding fabrication of a complex composite turbo-machinery
component (blade). The motivation for this work was to provide an
alternative cost saving technology for the manufacture of complex
geometries. Legacy components were machined from metal blanks
incurring high machining costs and long delivery times due to
complex geometry, the degree of machining accuracy needed, and
surface finish requirements of the part. A fabrication process
technology was developed to produce an alternative low-cost high
quality composite component with tailored properties. Beyond cost
reduction, the main priorities of this process focused on quality
and repeatability. Technology development took place in two phases:
a prototype proving phase and a production phase. For the proving
phase, a machined master blade was used to create a prototype
urethane tooling mold. Hybrid fiber preforms were constructed from
carbon and glass fabrics to fill the complex mold cavity. Preform
layups were empirically generated and sewn together. Preforms were
then loaded into the mold and the assembly was placed within a
containment vessel. Vinyl ester resin was injected into the mold
and allowed to cure. The mold was then disassembled and the blade
extracted. The geometry of the as-fabricated prototype blade was
inspected using a coordinate measuring machine. The prototype blade
exhibited a geometric ‘inward bow’ distortion. Geometry data and
lessons learned from the prototype phase influenced development of
the production phase. On the foundation of a successful prototype
part that proved development concepts, production tooling was
designed and constructed from aluminum. A novel finite element
geometry correction method was developed and demonstrated to
correct for prototype blade distortion by modifying mold cavity
geometry. These geometry corrections were implemented in the
aluminum tooling. Also, small preforms were added, and other
improvements made. A production blade was fabricated using the
aluminum production tooling, inspected, and compared to the
prototype and the design of record (DOR). The production tooling
yielded an improved blade with corrected geometry, optimized fiber
fill, and accurate repeatability. The overall manufacturing
development was a success resulting in a robust low-cost resin
transfer molding process for the repeatable production of high
quality complex composite turbo-machinery components with
sufficient geometric accuracy. Two main accomplishments are a fully
developed production technology and a process engineering blueprint
for developing complex composite resin transfer molding
technologies. A third major achievement of this work was the
successful application of the aforementioned finite element
geometry correction method that accounted for material distortions
to yield a part that met required tolerances. Included is a review
of the resin transfer molding process covering studies on the
effects of process variables, potential defects and
countermeasures, modeling and…

▼ Liquid composite
molding (LCM) processes have been
proven to be cost effective for producing lightweight and
high-performance composites. In this study, an integrated analysis
was carried out to study two processes in this category, including
the
resin injection pultrusion (RIP) process and the vacuum
assisted
resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. RIP has attracted
much attention in the last decade, due to its great potential for
producing composite-profile with constant cross-sectional area,
high productivity, low cost, and zero volatile organic compounds
(VOC) emissions. In this study, a friction coefficient model and a
volume change model of a vinyl ester
resin were developed. An
analytical model was developed to predict the resistance force in
the injection die. The volume change model and the friction
coefficient model, combined with the temperature and
resin
conversion profiles along the die, were used to predict the
resistance force in the heating die. The comparison between the
analytical and numerical results with the experimental data showed
that the models and the simulation tool developed in this study are
capable of predicting the pulling force in the entire die with good
agreement. Recently, because of the growing interest of low
temperature manufacturing processes such as VARTM, low shrinkage
molding compounds with the ability to be processed at low
temperature have attracted considerable interest from the composite
industry. However, most low profile additives (LPAs) do not work
well for the shrinkage control of unsaturated polyester (UP) in
low-temperature processes because of the lack of strong temperature
changes during
molding. In this work, a novel nanotechnology was
developed to achieve zero volume shrinkage of low profile UP
resin
system cured at room temperature by controlling the selectivity of
nanoclay during reaction-induced phase separation. TEM observation
of the cured sample showed that nearly all of the nanoclay
platelets resided in the LPA-rich phase. Nanoclay presence
increased the reaction rate in the LPA-rich phase because nanoclay
could act as a co-promoter in the UP curing system, which could
result in the earlier microvoid formation and better shrinkage
control. The resulting VARTM panels with improved volume shrinkage
control showed better surface quality improvement.

▼ The manufacture of laminated composite materials using a thermosetting
resin
matrix is a complex process that can be understood with a knowledge of cure kinetics,
heat
transfer, and structural mechanics. During laminate manufacture, reinforcing
fibers are impregnated with
resin and subjected to catalytic conditions. Under these
conditions, the
resin transforms from liquid to solid as polymer chains form a crosslinked
network. During this process, the phenomenological events of gelation and
vitrification influence the ability to process the
resin. Prediction of these events with
kinetic modeling allows the optimization of the manufacturing process and insight into
the final material properties. This thesis investigates the application of kinetic models
to, specifically, the Pro-Set 117LV/229 epoxy system. Additionally, it is demonstrated
that residual stresses develop in laminated composite as cure progresses. The
residual stress state is affected by the processing history of the component and has
an impact on component dimensionality and strength.

▼ Vacuum assisted
resin transfer molding (VARTM) is a low cost
resin infusion process being developed for the manufacture of composite structures. VARTM is being evaluated for the manufacture of primary aircraft structures, including foam sandwich composite materials. One of the benefits of VARTM is the ability to
resin infiltrate large or complex shaped components. However, trial and error process development of these types of composite structures can prove costly and ineffective. Therefore, process modeling of the associated flow details and infiltration times can aide in manufacturing design and optimization.
The purpose of this research was to develop a process using VARTM to
resin infiltrate stitched and unstitched dry carbon fiber preforms with polymethacrylimide foam cores to produce composite sandwich structures. The infiltration process was then used to experimentally verify a three-dimensional finite element model for VARTM injection of stitched sandwich structures.
Using the processes developed for the
resin infiltration of stitched foam core preforms, visualization experiments were performed to verify the finite element model. The flow front progression as a function of time and the total infiltration time were recorded and compared with model predictions. Four preform configurations were examined in which foam thickness and stitch row spacing were varied. For the preform with 12.7 mm thick foam core and 12.7 mm stitch row spacing, model prediction and experimental data agreed within 5%. The 12.7 mm thick foam core preform with 6.35 mm row spacing
experimental and model predicted data agreed within 8%. However, for the 12.7 mm thick foam core preform with 25.4 mm row spacing, the model overpredicted infiltration times by more 20%. The final case was the 25.4 mm thick foam core preform with 12.7 mm row spacing. In this case, the model overpredicted infiltration times by more than 50%. This indicates that the model did not accurately describe flow through the needle perforations in the foam core and could be addressed by changing the mesh elements connecting the two face sheets.

▼ Vacuum-Assisted
Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) processes are becoming promising technologies in the manufacturing of primary composite structures in the aircraft industry as well as infrastructure. A great deal of work still needs to be done on efforts to reduce the costly trial-and-error methods of VARTM processing that are currently in practice today. A computer simulation model of the VARTM process would provide a cost-effective tool in the manufacturing of composites utilizing this technique. Therefore, the objective of this research was to modify an existing three-dimensional,
Resin Film Infusion (RFI)/
Resin Transfer Molding (
RTM) model to include VARTM simulation capabilities and to verify this model with the fabrication of aircraft structural composites. An additional objective was to use the VARTM model as a process analysis tool, where this tool would enable the user to configure the best process for manufacturing quality composites.
Experimental verification of the model was performed by processing several flat composite panels. The parameters verified included flow front patterns and infiltration times. The flow front patterns were determined to be qualitatively accurate, while the simulated infiltration times over predicted experimental times by 8 to 10%. Capillary and gravitational forces were incorporated into the existing RFI/
RTM model in order to simulate VARTM processing physics more accurately. The theoretical capillary pressure showed the capability to reduce the simulated infiltration times by as great as 6%. The gravity, on the other hand, was found to be negligible for all cases.
Finally, the VARTM model was used as a process analysis tool. This enabled the user to determine such important process constraints as the location and type of injection ports and the permeability and location of the high-permeable media. A process for a three-stiffener composite panel was proposed. This configuration evolved from the variation of the process constraints in the modeling of several different composite panels. The configuration was proposed by considering such factors as: infiltration time, the number of vacuum ports, and possible areas of void entrapment.

▼ This investigation completed the verification of a
three-dimensional
resin
transfer molding/
resin film infusion (
RTM/RFI) process
simulation model. The
model incorporates
resin flow through an anisotropic carbon
fiber preform, cure
kinetics of the
resin, and heat
transfer within the
preform/tool assembly.
The computer model can predict the flow front location,
resin pressure distribution, and thermal profiles in the
modeled part.
The formulation for the flow model is given using the
finite element/control volume (FE/CV) technique based on
Darcy's Law of creeping flow through a porous media. The
FE/CV technique is a numerically efficient method for
finding the flow front location and the fluid pressure.
The heat
transfer model is based on the three-dimensional,
transient heat conduction equation, including heat
generation. Boundary conditions include specified
temperature and convection.
The code was designed with a modular approach so the flow
and/or the thermal
module may be turned on or off as desired. Both models are
solved sequentially
in a quasi-steady state fashion.
A mesh refinement study was completed on a one-element
thick model to determine
the recommended size of elements that would result in a
converged model for a
typical RFI analysis. Guidelines are established for
checking the convergence
of a model, and the recommended element sizes are listed.
Several experiments were conducted and computer simulations
of the experiments
were run to verify the simulation model. Isothermal,
non-reacting flow in a
T-stiffened section was simulated to verify the flow module.
Predicted
infiltration times were within 12-20 percent of measured
times. The predicted
pressures were approximately 50 percent of the measured
pressures. A study was
performed to attempt to explain the difference in pressures.
Non-isothermal experiments with a reactive
resin were
modeled to verify the
thermal module and the
resin model. Two panels were
manufactured using the RFI
process. One was a stepped panel and the other was a
panel with two `T'
stiffeners. The difference between the predicted
infiltration times and the
experimental times was 4 to 23 percent.

▼ In repeated measures data, large or small values at
the initial measurement tend to be followed by values that are
closer to the mean at the follow-ups measurements. This tendency is
called regression to the mean (RTM). The presence of the RTM effect
is inevitable in repeated measures data because of less than
perfect correlation (correlation coefficient < 1) between
the repeated measurements. Despite the growing evidence of the
presence of RTM effects in clinical and public health studies based
on repeated measures data, very few studies have evaluated and
considered them when interpreting observed changes over time. In
intervention studies, an RTM effect is mixed with an intervention
effect in observed changes. It is extremely important to separate
the RTM effect from the observed change in order to isolate any
intervention effect and thus to make valid inferences about the
effect of the intervention. In studying changes in outcome
variables in repeated measures studies, RTM effects should always
be adjusted for the valid interpretation of the changes and
unbiased assessment of the intervention effects. The choice of
methods to control for the RTM effect should be based on the type
(continuous, count) and shape (normal, non-normal distribution) of
the outcome variables of interest. A new method of estimating RTM
effects for non-normal data using simulation is proposed. The
method is a combination of bootstrap sampling from the standardized
outcome variable and matrix decomposition of the correlation matrix
between the repeated measurements. The method is applied to adjust
for the RTM effects in studying changes in mean drinks in a typical
week in a study evaluating the impact of a brief alcohol
intervention on youth. In the study, mean drinks followed a
positively skewed distribution. The proposed method estimated the
RTM effects considering the true distribution (positively skewed)
of the outcome and in doing so, provided more accurate estimation
of the intervention effects compared to other methods considered in
the thesis. The method ensured valid interpretation of the observed
changes in the outcome by providing the most accurate estimation of
the RTM effect and then removing it from the data. The proposed
method could be applied to adjust for the RTM effect in non-normal
repeated measures studies.

▼ FRP stands for Fiber Reinforced Polymer. FRP materials have yet to be introduced inbridge construction in Sweden. Composite materials can through combined componentsand manufacturing processes be tailored to fit advanced bridge designs. FRP materials arestrong, durable and of low weight. FRP materials give the superstructure reduced weightand are therefore a suitable alternative for industrial prefabrication. This report shows thatFRP materials are possible to use in bridge construction. With the introduction of a specificEurocode we are confident that FRP materials will become a competitive alternative inbridge construction in Sweden in the future.
Broar är förenade med stora kostnader, dels för att bygga och dels för att underhålla ochreparera. FRP står för Fiber Reinforced Polymer är ett erkänt material för många andraanvändningsområden, exempelvis flyg och bilindustri. I Europa finns en mängd FRP-broar,men materialet har ännu inte introducerats i någon bro i Sverige.FRP är ett kompositmaterial som genom olika kombinationer av komponenter ochtillverkningsprocesser kan skräddarsys för den aktuella uppgiften i en konstruktion. FRPmaterialär starka, beständiga och har en låg vikt. Fördelar med FRP inom brokonstruktionär att det ger överbyggnaden en minskad egenvikt och därmed är ett lämpligt alternativ attprefabricera industriellt, då bland annat transport- och lyftbarhet gynnas samt att en högbeständighet ger minskat underhåll.Då ingen litteratur hanterar FRP i Brokonstruktion har de intervjuades åsikter varit mycketviktiga för arbetet. Litteraturstudien har legat till grund för en ökad förståelse för egenskaperutmärkande för olika typer av FRP. Intervjuer har utförts med personer som i dagslägetkommit i kontakt med materialet inom brokonstruktion. Detta har gjorts för att nå ett relevantresultat med möjlighet att kunna identifiera materialets för- respektive nackdelar samtanledningen till det låga användandet i Sverige.Rapporten visar att materialet har positiva egenskaper och är möjligt att använda vidkonstruktion av broar. Det saknas i dagsläget en specifik Eurokod som på ett enhetligt sättredovisar hur materialet ska hanteras. Med införandet av en specifik Eurokod och om en nykompetens arbetas fram inom branschen är vi övertygade om att FRP-material kommer attbli ett konkurrenskraftigt alternativ vid brokonstruktion.

Resin transfer moulding (RTM) offers the advantage of flexible manufacturing of net-shape PMC components with superior repeatability starting from ready-to-impregnate dry reinforcements. An RTM apparatus was developed for manufacturing PMC plates and demonstrator components representative of actual, PMC components and PMC moulds made and used in the airframe industry. The RTM process developed in this work involved making net-shape dry carbon fibre preforms and impregnating them an epoxy resin, targeting mould applications. Thermal repeatability of different net-shape PMC components manufactured using the RTM apparatus developed in-house was investigated. Effects of bonding an outer copper plate onto the PMC material, targeting mould applications known as integrally heated copper tooling (IHCT), were explored. Heat conduction through the PMC components was studied using simulation models validated by experimental data obtained primarily by thermography. Manufactured PMC components showed good repeatability, particularly in terms of thermal behaviour. The IHCT technique was found to be well suited for mould applications. Expected advantages of thermography were materialised. Finally, the simulation models developed were in good agreement with experimental data.

▼ Afin de pouvoir prédire le comportement des renforts de composites 3D interlock au cours d'un procédé de mise en forme, il est nécessaire de connaitre la position des mèches dans le renfort durant la phase de préformage du procédé. Les travaux présentés ici traitent de la simulation du préformage de renforts 3D épais à l'aide d'un élément fini hexaédrique semi-discret spécifique. En utilisant le principe des travaux virtuels, on distingue le travail interne virtuel dû à la tension des mèches des autres travaux virtuels. La raideur due aux tensions de mèches, qui constitue la contribution principale de la rigidité du matériau, est prise en compte à l'aide de barres incluses dans les éléments. Les rigidités dues aux autres sollicitations, comme la compression transverse, les cisaillements ou les frottements inter-mèches, sont décrites par un matériau continu additionnel. La combinaison de ce modèle discret du premier ordre et d'un matériau continu hyperélastique anisotrope dit du second ordre, pour formuler le comportement du matériau va permettre la simulation du préformage des renforts tissés épais. Conjointement aux travaux sur la simulation, des travaux expérimentaux pour l'identification des paramètres matériau de la loi de comportement ont été définis et réalisés. Ces paramètres concernent les deux parties de la formulation du comportement.
In order to simulate 3D interlock composite reinforcement behavior during forming process, it is necessary to predict yarns positions in the fabric during the preforming stage of the process. The present work deals with thick 3D interlock fabric forming simulation using specific hexahedral semi-discrete finite elements. Using the virtual work principle, we distinguish the virtual internal work due to tensions in yarns from other internal virtual works. The stiffness relative to yarns tension which is the main part of the rigidity is described by bars within the elements. The other rigidities - like transverse compression, shears or friction between yarns - are depicted by a continuous additional material. A combination of this "first order" discrete model and a continuous orthotropic hyperelastic "second order" material formulation will enable us to simulate the interlock preforming process. Jointly to the simulation work, we also had to specify and perform experimental testing identification of material parameters. These parameters concern both parts of the model.

▼ Resin infusion of composite parts has continually been reaching to achieve laminate quality equal to, or exceeding, the quality produced with prepreg in an autoclave. In order for this to occur, developers must understand the key process variables that go in to producing a laminate with minimal void content. The purpose of this research is to continue efforts in understanding 1) the effect of process conditions on the resultant void content, with a focus on resin infusion flow rate, 2) applying statistical metrics to the formation, location and size of voids formed, and 3) correlate these metrics with the local mechanical properties of the composite laminate. The variation in dispersion and formation of micro-voids and macro-voids varied greatly between the rates of flow the infusion occurred, especially in the non-crimp carbon fiber samples. Higher flow rates led to lower volumes of micro-voids in the beginning section of the carbon fiber laminates with macro-voids being introduced approximately half-way through infusion. This was determined to have occurred decreasing pressure gradient as the flow front moved away from the inlet. This variation in void content per location on the laminate was more evident in the carbon fiber samples than the fiberglass samples. Micro-voids follow void formation modeling especially when coupled with a pressure threshold model. Macro-void formation was also demonstrated to correlate strongly to void formation models when united with void mobility theories and pressure thresholds. There is a quick decrease in mechanical properties after the first 1-2% of voids signaling strength is mostly sensitive to the first 0-2% void content. A slight decrease in SBS was noticed in fiberglass laminates, A-F as v0 increased but not as drastically as represented in the NCF laminates, G and H. The lower clarity in the exponential trend could be due to the lack of samples with v0 greater than 0% but less than 1%. Strength is not well correlated to void content above 2% and could possibly be related to void morphololgy.

▼ In this research, the usage of single wall
carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and nanoclays in the
resin transfer
molding (
RTM) of biaxially stitched micro-fiber reinforced epoxy
matrix composites was investigated to evaluate the role of
nanoscale reinforcements on the wetting, flow and end-properties of
composites through multi-scale effects. The study primarily focused
on characterization of the state of dispersion and curing of
nanoscale reinforced epoxy polymers, assessment of the relative
importance of viscous forces over interfacial forces and the
wettability of glass fabrics by the nanoscale reinforced epoxy
polymers, analysis of complex flow of nanoreinforced epoxy systems
through glass fiber porous media by several flow properties and
evaluation of the properties of hybrid epoxyglassfiber composites
enriched with nanoscale particles. The presence
of nanoreinforcements retarded the cure kinetics to some degree
such that the activation energies increased with the
nanoreinforcement content. Both theunsteady-state and steady-state
relative tow permeabilities were observed to decrease as the
nanoclay amount was increased. The presence of nanoclay was
observed to reduce the "tow wet-out" with almost 50 % reduction in
the steady-state tow permeability with the addition of 4 wt %
nanoclay to the reactive epoxy. Contact angle measurements
indicated, approximately 21 % increase in the contact angle with
the addition of 4 wt % nanoclay to epoxy. It was
found that beyond 0.3 wt % SWNT,
RTM of epoxy-60 % biaxially
stitched glass fiber systems was not feasible. It was also observed
that an addition of SWNT at only 10 % the level of nanoclay caused
almost a 25 % increase in steady-state pressure level along with
almost an 18 % decrease in permeability. It is believed that
nanoreinforcements affected flow rate somewhat differently along
the various fabric capillary paths and thereby leading to
preferential flow paths in the mold cavity. It is proposed that
nanoparticles, particularly at high weight percentages, agglomerate
during flow inside the mold cavity and block some intra-tow regions
and lead to instabilities in the flow resulting in anomalous
pressure differentials at different regions of the flow and unusual
permeability results. While the use of
nanoreinforcements reduced oxygen and moisture transport along with
thermal expansion coefficient, the mechanical properties were found
to decrease dueto the several defects, such as voids and
agglomerates introduced during
RTM as a result of the differential
micro- and macro-flows.
