Lab Session – Composite Platform
Proccessing – Infusion
Supervisor: Sébastien Comas – Jean-Michel Lebrun
Duration: 4 hours
The objectives of this Lab Session are the following:
– Manufacture continuous fiber reinforcement composites infusing a thermosetting resin
– Measure the hydraulic in-plane permeabilities of fiber reinforcements
– Determine the influence of shear and 3D geometrical features onto the resin flow during the impregnation stage.
Processing – Fabrics, Draping of fabrics and Consolidation
Supervisor: Sébastien Comas – Jean-Michel Lebrun
Duration: 4 hours
The objectives of this Lab Session are the following:
– Measure the technical characteristics of a fibrous reinforcement
– Drape fabrics on various 3D molds
– Manufacture a 3D composite part constituted of continuous glass fiber reinforcements and thermoplastic matrix using consolidation in a press
– Determine the processing influence on the composite material and on the product properties (performance, defects, anisotropy, fiber volume fraction, dimensional tolerances…)
