Real-Time Control Method and Simulation for Thin-Wall RTM by Injection Rate Optimization
A real-time control method for thin-wall resin transfer molding(RTM)based on injection rate optimization was proposed to reduce void defects.The simulation program for two-dimensional radial flow process control was written.The results show that compared with the constant rate injection,the method can reduce the filling time and significantly reduce the porosity of the flow front.There is a slight deviation between the void content obtained at different spaces of sensing points(1~10 mm)and the theoretical analytical value.
