摘要
Thickness control for fiber preforms is one of the main challenges in vacuum infusion molding process (VIMP). Firstly, research progress in compaction-recovery characteristics and permeability of fabric preforms at home and abroad is reviewed in this paper. Secondly, the theoretical models for thickness variation in 1D linear flow and 2D radial flow of VIMP are introduced. The solution of fluid pressure characteristic equation, the distribution of fluid pressure field and the effect of fluid pressure on thickness are analyzed. The problems in the process of Correia's derivation are pointed out and revised. The effects of thickness variation on VIMP and the composite are summarized. Finally, the prospective development of theoretical research and process control about thickness variation in VIMP is also presented. © 2016, Materials Review Magazine. All right reserved.
