Abstract
This study aim at understanding the void formation, transport mechanisms and porosity evolution during OoA consolidation process. The laminates were conformed by stacking and compacting of prepregs by two different technologies: manual (Hand lay-up, HLU) and automatic (Automated [...]
Abstract
Nowadays, manufacturing of composite parts using out-of-Autoclave (OoA) processes is gaining importance because it allows a reduction of initial investments and recurring costs. Among these technologies, the consolidation of out-of-autoclave prepregs using vacuum bag only technologies [...]
