Monitoring and Heat Transfer Modelling of the Cure of Thermoset Composites Processed by Resin Transfer Moulding. [PDF]
Experimental studies have demonstrated the existence of significant thermal gradients during the cure stage of Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM). Presence of such thermal gradients can affect the final degree-of-cure distribution and cause the development

Composite material process monitoring using optical fibre grating sensors [PDF]
In this thesis a long period grating (LPG) based sensor is investigated as a possible alternative to current process monitoring sensors used in the manufacture of composites to monitor cure. An LPG is demonstrated as a means of monitoring the cure of a

Timing for Composite Resin Placement on Mineral Trioxide Aggregate [PDF]
Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the proper time to restore composite resin over mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Methods Thirty-five samples of MTA blocks were divided into 7 groups with 3 different times (10 minutes, 1 day, and 7 ...

Coupled visco-mechanical and diffusion void growth modelling during composite curing [PDF]
Most critical processing step during long fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composite laminate manufacturing is the polymerization stage. If not optimized, it gives birth to defects in the bulk material, such as voids.
