Toward an optimisation of the reactive resin transfer molding process: thermo-chemico-mechanical coupled simulations
Source abstract
Abstract
In a view of reactive RTM process optimization, a numerical strategy is proposed to perform simulation of the filling stage of such a process, including the numerous thermo-chemico-mechanical couplings involved. Numerical simulations are then performed illustrating the capabilities of the strategy and underlying the numerical features that have to be taken into account. Finally, in order to build virtual charts for processability windows definition, the possibility to combine this numerical strategy with a multiparametric solver is addressed.
