报告简介:

       Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) is a widely used technology in the manufacture of composite components. In LCM fibre reinforcement or preform is placed into a sealed mould and resin is injected through a gate in the mould to impregnate the reinforcement. There are several variations in application, such as resin transfer moulding (RTM) and vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM). Numerical modelling of Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) processes has undergone significant developments in the past decades. In recognition of the deficiency of continuum single-scale models for woven or stitched fibre reinforcements which consist of two distinctively scaled pore networks (the macro inter-tow-pore network and the micro intra-tow-pore network), advanced dual-scale modelling has become of more interest. The resin flow within the gaps between fibre tows (macro-scale or inter-tow) and that in the capillary channels inside fibre tows (micro-scale or intra-tow) have significantly different flow rates. Consequently, the two inconsistent flow in the mould results in the local regions of no full resin impregnation or voids left in the final products. The characteristics of unsaturated flow in LCM processes have been demonstrated in experiments showing a visible partially saturated liquid flow front, measurement of unsaturated permeability, and the ‘drooping’ of the inlet pressure under constant injection rates. A novel dual-scale models for LCM processes for woven fibre reinforcement was proposed, which adopts a physical unit-cell impregnation model to characterise the micro-scale flow in plain woven reinforcements. The unit-cell impregnation model later is implemented in a comprehensive continuum LCM model at the macroscopic mould scale to simulate the full LCM processes. Both modelling and experimental tests have proven the effectiveness of the modelling approach.
