Study Of Processing Parameters In Manufacturing Of Flat Glass-Epoxy Composite Laminates Using Vacuum Bagging Oven Curing

The effective manufacturing process for aircraft structural parts made from composite laminate usually involved autoclave prepreg material manufactured via vacuum bagging pre-forming and autoclave. Though, autoclave involves high capital, running cost and extortionate residual stress. Vacuum bagging...

The abnormalities percentage of the produced laminate was studied using the image processing algorithm of ultrasonic C-scan image. To assess the relationship between void and inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS), scanning electron micrograph analysis was employed. It was concluded that the ILSS and tensile strength were reflected directly to the void content and void dimension which were also sensitive to the processing parameters. 2013-09 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/46450/ http://eprints.usm.my/46450/1/Nur%20Hafzareen%20Binti%20Md%20Hanafiah24.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Mekanikal
