Thick laminated composites are manufactured commonly by vacuum bagging of fiber-resin mix or prepregs on a suitable mould and, subsequently curing the lay-up at high temperature and pressure in an either autoclave or oven. At these pressures and temp... Read More about Bleeder thickness optimization for controlling resin content in thick laminated composites.

A two-dimensional transient heat transfer, one-dimensional compaction and two-dimensional resin flow analysis of a thick laminated composites fabrication assembly including the bleeders and vacuum bagging is carried out in a fully coupled manner. Res... Read More about Simulation of bleeder flow and curing of thick composites with pressure and temperature dependent properties.
