A Novel Multi-Region, Multi-Phase, Multi-Component-Mixture Modeling Approach to Predicting the Thermodynamic Behaviour of Thermoplastic Composites during the Consolidation Process

Abstract: In the processing of thermoplastic composites, great importance is attributed to the consolidation step, as it can significantly reduce the porosity of the semi-finished product and thus influence considerably the quality of the final component. This work presents an approach to modeling the thermodynamic behavior of composite materials during hot-press consolidation. For this purpose a multi-region, multi-phase and multi-component-mixture model was developed using the simulation toolbox OpenFOAM®. The sensiti… Show more

“…To increase product quality and reduce cycle time, these process parameters must be optimized within boundary conditions, such as those imposed by the Figure 1. Schematic representation of the thermoplastic production cell: (i) tape laying, (ii) consolidation, (iii) preheating, (iv) forming and, optionally, (v) overmolding [10].…”
