RTM is a production process of composites by transfering resin in low viscosity and pressure to a closed molding containing the perform. It is adequate to produce complex geometry components of composites which require high quality of finishing and no measurement limitation. Technical aspect as: 1) the tool, the accessories as the breath and the injection gates which have important influe…
Hybrid composites application for aeronautics industry could be a feasible solution to carbon fiber high cost. However, mechanical properties of this new composite remain being fundamental for structural application. One of the main factors that restricts laminated composites use in the aeronautical industry is the low value of interlaminar fracture toughness, which is represented mainly …
Composites are materials very attractive to the aeronautical industry due to higher mechanical strength for a light weight structure. Regarding hybrids composites, the possibility to combine different fibers advantages is a benefit considering the fact that a reduction of less desirable characteristics occurrs simultaneously. Epoxy resin as a matrix, a thermoset polymer, present mechanica…
This research work aims to produce and study the mechanical behavior of a structural composite constituted by a biaxial fabric reinforcement [-45+45] from the company SAERTEX of carbon fiber Hexcel IM7 GP in a quadriaxial architecture [0/90/+45/-45/-45/+45/90/0/0/90/+45/-45/-45/+45/90/0] in 8 layers, to ensure a volume of fibers higher than 50%, for a fabric grammature equal to 410 g/m2 a…

It is well known that epoxy resin reinforced with carbon fibers, is used in the aeronautical industries due to its light weight, however has high tendency to nucleate microcracks, which, under applied loading, progress to delamination and possible structural failure. The traditional procedure to minimize the possibility of fracture is during maintenance schedule when inspecting to remove …
Although a great deal of research on the use of natural fibers for polymer composite production has been done over the las few years, there is still missing information on their overall mechanical behavior. This is especially true for their stability and long-term performances. In this project, it is proposed to study one aspect of materials performance via fatigue testing. The work is ma…
This research project aims to study the compaction behavior and the mechanisms of voids on aerospace-grade carbon fiber epoxy prepregs during its process of manufacture by vacuum and autoclave, evaluating, at first, its initial condition through observation of voids contents and relating them to process conditions as cycles of vacuum, pressure, temperature and time in order to minimize th…
