The incomplete saturation and the void formation during the resin infiltration into fibrous porous media in the resin transfer molding process cause failure in the final product during its service. In order to better understand flow behavior during the filling process, a finite-element scheme for transient flow simulation across the micro-structured fibrous media is developed in the present work. A volume-of- fluid (VOF) method has been incorporated in the Eulerian frame to capture the evolution of flow front and the vertical periodic boundary condition has been combined to avoid unwanted wall effect. In the microscale simulation, we investigated the transient filling process in various fiber structures and discussed the mechanism leading to the flow fingering in the case of random fiber distribution. Effects of the filling pressure, the shear-thinning behavior of fluid and the volume fraction on the flow front have been investigated for both intra-tow and the inter-tow flows in dual-scale fiber tow models.

본 연구에서는 고압 RTM 공정에서 고속 수지 유동에 의한 섬유 보강재의 변형 거동에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위해 섬유와 금형의 마찰계수 측정 장치와 고압 RTM 공정을 모사하여 preform 변형을 평가하는 장치를 구축하였다. 마찰계수 측정 장치를 통해 금형-섬유 간 Coulomb 마찰계수와 수력학적 마찰 계수를 측정하였고, preform 변형 평가 장치를 통해 preform의 변형이 발생할 때의 유체에 의해 작용하는 외력의 힘을 측정하였다. 마찰계수를 이용하여 마찰력을 구하고 외력과 비교하여 직물의 슬립(slip) 여부를 판별할 수 있었다. 유체에 의해 섬유에 작용하는 외력이 섬유와 금형 사이의 마찰력보다 커지게 되면 직물이 움직이는 것으로 관찰 되었으며, 이는 섬유의 체적률과 마찰계수에 주로 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, carbon/phenol composites were prepared from carbon fiber preform and phenol resin by RTM(resin transfer molding) process. And changes in the properties of the composite according to the pre-treatment of phenol resin was mainly studied. RTM process conditions were deduced from viscosity and thermal analysis of phenol resin which were rheometer and thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA). RTM process was performed under various injection and molding temperature. Characterization of the prepared C/P composites were evaluated by various analysis. Morphology of composites was analyzed by Micro-CT(MCT), Mechanical properties of composites were measured through the flexural properties. As results, volatile impurities of phenol resin were effectively removed at resin pre-treatment temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ and composite was sufficiently cured at molding temperature of $180^{\circ}C$.

The composite composed of glass fabric and BMI resin was fabricated using resin transfer molding(RTM) process. it will be used as a supporting plate of transformer coil for high speed train. To develop a RTM process, permeability of preform was measured and resin properties like a viscosity and gellation time were checked. A resin pre-heating system and a mold system were also designed and developed. Using a vacuum-assisted RTM process, the composite supporting plate was successfully fabricated.

내열성복합재료와 Steel 구조물 사이의 좁고 긴 원통형 공간을 내열성 폴리우레탄 재료로 충전하는 연구를 수행하였다. 충전재료를 결정하기 위하여 3종의 폴리우레탄과 에폭시수지를 선정, 시험하여 내열성, 흐름성, 접착성, 경도측정 등을 통하여 최종 결정하였으며 선정된 폴리우레탄을 충전하기 위하여 Resin Transfer Molding(RTM) 방법을 사용하였다. 충전 공정의 적용여부를 판단하기 위하여 아크릴을 이용한 RTM치구를 설계, 제작하여 시험하였다. 충전된 조립체는 비파괴 검사를 통하여 접착, 기공 등을 검사하였으며 지상연소시험을 통하여 내열성능을 평가하였다.

Homogenization method is adopted to predict the permeability tenor for glass fiber plain woven fabrics. Calculating the permeability tensor numerically is an encouraging task because the permeability tensor is a key parameter in resin transfer molding (RTM). Based on multi-scale approach of the homogenization method, the permeability for the micro-unit cell within fiber tow is computed and compared with that obtained from flow analysis for the same micro-unit cell. It is found that they are in good agreement. In order to calculate the permeability tensor of macro-unit cell for the plain woven fabrics, the Stokes and Brinkman equations which describe inter-tow and intra-tow flow respectively are employed as governing equations. The effective permeabilities homogenized by considering intra-tow flow are compared with those obtained experimentally. Control volume finite element method (CVFEM) is used as a numerical method. It is shown that the asymptotic expansion homogenization method is an attractive method to predict the effective permeability for heterogeneous media.

고분자 복합재료 제조방법의 하나인 수지이동성형의 충전공정을 모사하기 위한 수 치모사 코드를 개발하였다. 수지이동성형의 충정공정문제를 수학적 공식으로 표현하기 위하 여 비등방성 다공질체를 통과하는 유동에 대한 이론을 사용하였다. 과도상태로 진행하는 자 유표면의 동적 충전거동을 묘사하기 위하여 수치격자 생성을 포괄하는 경계적합 좌표계의 계산기법을 적용하였다. 이와 아울러 불규칙적인 구저와 다중으로 연결된 금형면의 충전모 사에 저합한 복합격자의 개념을 도입하였다. 복합격자들 간의 가상의 경계에 대해서는 검사 체적 기법을 이용하여 물질보존을 만족시켜 주었다. 임의의 금형 두께와 투과도를 가지는 다수의 금형면이 결합된 두 개의 입구를 지닌 금형을 대상으로 하여 몇가지 예를 시험해 보 았다. 수치모사의결과 복합격자의 개념을 도입한 수치모사 코드는 수지이동성형의 복잡한 충전공정을 보다 정교하게 모사하는데 응용될수 있음을 보여주었다.

Since passenger cars require five wheels including a spare, the weight reduction of wheels without sacrificing performance is important. Recently, the structured components of cars made of steel are replaced by composites. plastics and other nonmetallic materials such as aluminum and magnesium for weight reduction. From these new tried materials are most promising due to their high specific stiffness and specific strength. The composites manufactured by resin transfer molding (RTM) process has not only low cost for the manufacturing but also reduces the lead time and development because the molds for RTM is easy to manufacture. In this work, composite wheels for passenger cars were designed and manufactured by RTM process. Since surface quality of wheels is important for passenger cars, the optimal stacking sequence for composite wheels was selected considering surface quality and mechanical properties. Also, the manufacturing method for the composite mold was depicted.
