Stochastic modelling of textile structures for resin flow analysis

This work addresses the characterisation of the micro-structure of fibre bundles in reinforcement textiles for composites and its influence on resin flow in liquid composite moulding (LCM) processes. Random variations in local filament spacing result in a non-uniform flow velocity field. Merging flo...
