Summary: | Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) processes are commonly used techniques for the
manufacture of advanced composite structures. This study explores the potential of wood fibres as
reinforcement for LCM preforms, considering mats produced using dry and wet methods. The
compaction response of these mats has been investigated with and without the presence of a test fluid.
Permeability of these mats was also measured as a function of fibre volume fraction. Reinforcement
permeability and compaction response data were used to model two different LCM processes. The
simulation results have been compared with experiments. |
