Experimental and numerical investigations of pressure-controlled resin transfer molding (PC-RTM)

To increase the use of fiber reinforced lightweight structural components in the automotive industry, their manufacturing processes have to obtain demanding economic requirements. One possibility is to use Compression Resin Transfer Molding (CRTM), which is fast and can be highly automated. One disa...
