A preform deformation and resin flow coupled model including the cure kinetics and chemo-rheology for the VARTM process

摘要: The present paper deals with preform deformation and resin flow coupled to cure kinetics chemo-rheology for the VARTM process. By monitoring infusion curing steps through temperature control, our primary aim is reduce cycle time of analysis based on two-phase porous media extended heat transfer. A novel feature consideration viscosity permeability in To tackle this problem, we extend framework transfer chemical reaction, involving additional convection terms describe proper interactions flow. Shell kinematics applied thin-walled preforms, which significantly reduces problem size. proposed finite element discretized system models solved a staggered way handle partially saturated front under non-isothermal conditions efficiently. From numerical example, conclude that process can be shortened over 68% control. Moreover, optimize processing parameters check compatibility given task.
