The Consolidation of Laminate Composites
Abstract
A general mathematical model wich allows for three dimensional flow, and one dimen sional consolidation of the composite, is developed. The model assumes that the fibers make up a deformable, nonlinear elastic network. The resin flow is modelled using Darcy's Law for an anisotropic porous medium, with a resin of time varying viscosity. The general case is then solved for two important molding situations: 1) Compression Mold ing, and 2) Bleeder Ply Molding.
