摘要
An experimental study of the process pressure characteristics prevailing in an RTM mould during the preform impregnation stage is presented. The pressure data is analysed with respect to a superposition of preform compaction and hydraulic fluid pressure. A methodology is proposed to isolate the hydraulic fluid pressure from the preform compaction pressure involving knowledge about the compressibility behaviour of the reinforcing material. For this purpose, the preform compressibility and relaxation behavior was studied by means of transverse compaction tests on both, unsaturated as well as the saturated sample stacks. The resulting isolated hydraulic fluid pressure is finally compared with numerical predictions derived from flow simulations, revealing good overall agreement. The findings of this work will contribute to realize the concept of model-based processing of fibre-reinforced polymer composites by means of the RTM process.
