SME CM920123

A SIMULATION OF THE RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (RTM) PROCESS FOR THE FLOW OF A REACTIVE RESIN THROUGH PREPLACED GLASS MATS IS PRESENTED. THE SIMULATION CONSIDERS THE EFFECT OF THE POROSITY OF GLASS MATS, HEAT TRANSFER BETWEEN RESIN AND GLASS, REACTION OF THE RESIN AND THE EFFECT OF REACTION ON THE RESIN VISCOSITY. THE SIMULATION CONSIDERS THE FILLING AND CURING STAGES OF THE PROCESS. THE SIMULATION PROGRAM IS VERIFIED BY COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OBTAINED FOR A POLYURETHANE SYSTEM.
