“…It goes without saying that the implementation of a more automated manufacturing process requires an increased capital investment; however, this is required if braided composites are to compete on a production basis with traditional engineering materials. The benefits of automation can be seen in the study done by Meade et al [98]. In their study, automated processes and manual techniques were compared for the manufacturing of a composite laminate.…”

“…The method is very common in aerospace applications but for the research done at the university level, autoclaves are not as common because of the expense involved. An autoclave was not used for the research in this work because of cost reasons (Meade, 1982).…”

“…Curing pressures for autoclave processing are usually in the range of 50-100 psi (377.5-755 kg/m 2 ). The benefits of autoclave processing are to produce a laminate with higher density and reduce the amount of time to completely cure a laminate [4].…”

Vehicle systems such as cargo freight and platform trailers are a primary source of transporting heavy cargo loads. The construction and materials used in a standard trailer design contribute significantly to the overall weight. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and West Virginia University have conducted joint research to reduce the amount of fuel consumption of cargo transportation trailers by initiating a lightweight materials program. This study is aimed at the utilization of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites and Composite Sandwich technology in conjunction with innovative joining concepts to reduce trailer weight. Finite element modeling and experimental analysis reveal the benefits of using composite sandwich technology versus existing load bearing structures in a standard trailer design. The composite sandwich technology in this work details the use of a core constituent that contributes to flexural stiffness while utilizing a design that addresses joining parameters of the faceplate and core.
