Experimental investigation on the fiber preform deformation due to mold closure for composites processing

In liquid composite molding processes, e.g., resin transfer molding, fiber preforms deform when mold is closed. This deformation of fiber preform due to mold closure causes inconsistencies to the permeability, and thus has a negative impact on resin flow. The variations in resin flow cause defects,...
