Impregnation behaviour of regenerated cellulose fabric Elium® composite: Experiment, simulation and analytical solution

Filling time and volume fill prediction of long complex parts produced using the method resin infusion is prominent importance. Fibre fraction, reinforcement type composite laminate thickness significantly affect manufacturing behaviour. It crucial to have an estimate fabrication parameters such as filling time. The PAM-RTM (resin transfer moulding) commercial software package makes it possible characterize production in connection with lab scale experiments. In this work, simulation tools demonstrate accurate process pulp-based fabrics characterization dynamic phenomena are verified analytical solution for a simple part. fabric Elium® demonstrated here can be beneficial scaling up part size speed. was accurately predicted until 270 s 10–100% tool solution. This proves rayon processing capabilities industry related projects opens possibility optimization.
