VaRTM(Vacuum assisted resin transfer molding)과 VAP(Vacuum assisted process) 공정은 RTM(Resin transfer modling) 공정의 한 종류로서, 대형구조물을 저가에 제작할 수 있는 대표적인 탈 오토클레이브(OOA, Out of Autoclave) 공정이다. 본 논문에서는 VaRTM과 VAP 공정을 상호 비교하기 위하여 수지 충진시험을 진행하였으며, 충진과정과 치수 안정성 등을 상호 비교하였다. 또한, 충진과정을 모사할 수 있는 해석기법을 개발하였으며, 유전센서를 사용하여 수지의 유동선단을 검출하여 이를 해석결과와 상호 비교하였다. 수지 충진시험 결과, 복합재 평판의 총 충진시간은 VAP공정은 48분, VaRTM 공정은 145분으로 측정되어, VAP 공정에 의한 충진시간이 VaRTM 대비 약 67% 단축되었으며, VAP공정이 VaRTM 공정에 비해 복합재 평판의 두께조절능력과 균일도가 우수함을 확인하였다.

Resin transfer molding process has been widely used in the automobile industry, because the product with large area can be manufactured easily and the cost for the manufacturing is lower than that of compression molding and hand lay up method. Since RTM process is suitable for large bus housing panels, in this work, the composite housing panel was manufactured by RTM process and the mechanical properties, surface quality and the condition of manufacturing process were studied.

The using of composite material is an aviation field but it changes into a general industry. Especially composites are expanding the use on transportation vehicles like automobiles, ships, and aircrafts. The main factor of this expansion is high specific strength. It can supply a high quality and efficiency of energy. But manufacturing of composite products requires many raw materials and tooling cost for special process, so we needs a reduction of these costs to achieve best efficiency. In the present study, we contrast the change of mechanical and physical properties between VaRTM(Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) and hand lay-up process. VaRTM process can offer a high quality the same as autoclave products, and low cost like hand lay-up process. In the results of mechanical tests, VaRTM specimen is stronger than hand lay-up specimen and hand lay-up specimen became delamination. In the results of physical tests, the resin content of VaRTM specimen is lower than hand lay-up specimen. On micrograph, the strength of specimen by VaRTM between fiber and resin is stronger than that of one by hand lay-up. And the specimen by hand lay-up contains more defects than one by VaRTM. So, VaRTM process can practically apply for automobile engine hood. This paper shows that VaRTM process is one of the most suitable processes for composite parts of automobile.

The bond characteristics of GFRP(glass fiber reinforced polymer) rods with various surface deformation produced by RTM(resin transfer molding) process were analyzes experimentally. Two types of GFRP rods with different surface deformation manufactured by RTM process in domestic area and two types of GFRP rebars imported were considered in this study. All testing procedures including specimens preparation, set-up of test equipments and measuring devices were made according to the CSA S806-02 recommendations. From the test results, it was found that deformed-type GFRP rod manufactured by RTM process showed the highest bond strength among test specimen. But, wave-type GFRP rod made by RTM process show the lowest value due to the splitting failure of concrete caused by the wedge action of waved surfaces on GFRP rods.

철도차량의 경량화 일환으로 대차 프레임 스킨제작에 복합소재를 적용하여 RTM 기법으로 제조하는 방안을 검토하였다. RTM 기법은 공정설비의 단순화 및 복잡한 형상의 대형 구조물을 짧은 시간에 제조할 수 있는 장점이 있다. RTM 공정에서는 구조물에 기공이 갇힐 수 있기 때문에 수지 주입구와 배출구의 개수 및 위치 선정이 중요하다. 이번 연구에서는 섬유 프리폼의 투과성 계수를 등방성과 이방성 특성으로 구분하여 RTM 성형특성을 수치해석을 통해 예측하였다. 그로부터 투과성 계수에 따른 기공 형성과 성형 시간의 예측 및 수지 배출구의 최적 위치 등 공정조건을 선정하기 위한 대차 프레임 스킨의 RTM 성형 충전패턴을 분석하였다.

During resin transfer molding(RTM) process, in case of thick parts, resin flow and void formation should be modeled three dimensionally even though for parts of small thickness, resin flow and void formation can be modeled two dimensionally. In this study, numerical simulations of three dimensional mold filling and void formation during RTM process.

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.

The autoclave process is frequently utilized in the manufacturing of aircraft parts because of the low void content and high fiber volume fraction. However, due to the slow curing process (5∼8 hours per part) and it's limited producibility for complicated shape, this process is very expensive and applied to the relatively simple geometry structures. RTM is considered as an alternative process to overcome the limitation of autoclave process. In this study, the idea of RTM application on the secondary Fairing structure of aircraft has been proved to be technically feasible and very cost effective by changing the multiple part of subassembly into one integral composite structure.

The tensile properties of GFRP(glass fiber reinforced polymer) rods with various surface deformation produced by RTM(resin transfer molding) process were analyzes experimentally. Two types of GFRP rods with different surface deformation manufactured by RTM process in domestic area and two types of GFRP rods imported were considered in this study. All testing procedures including specimens preparation, set-up of test equipments and measuring devices were made according to the ASTM D3916-02 recommendations. From the test results, it was found that wave-type GFRP rod made by RTM process showed the highest tensile strength due to the highest fiber volume ratio.
