Understanding the causes and effects of defects in advanced sheet moulding compounds

Discontinuous fibre reinforced composites such as Sheet Moulding Compounds (SMCs) have the potential to solve many of the problems inherent in conventional continuous fibre composites. Composed of shorter, randomly-orientated fibre tows, these materials are able to flow into complex geometries with...
