Characterisation of discontinuous carbon fibre preforms for automotive applications

The high cost of raw materials, high labour costs and lengthy cycle times have limited the use of conventional ply-based composites in the automotive industry. This thesis seeks to identify the potential of using low cost discontinuous fibre composites (DFCs) for structural applications. Properties...
