EFFECTS OF DEFECTS ON LAMINATE QUALITY AND MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE IN THERMOPLASTIC AUTOMATED FIBER PLACEMENT-BASED PROCESS CHAINS

Effects of defects on laminate quality and mechanical performance in thermoplastic Automated Fiber Placement-based process chains

Automated Fiber Placement of thermoplastic unidirectional tape materials offers several advantages over conventional organosheets, such as enhanced part performance through tailored fiber architecture, and economic and ecological benefits due to scrap reduction.Because material is cut perpendicular to the feeding direction in state-of-the-art machi

On the mechanism of helium permeation through silica glass

Although the densities of crystal quartz and vitreous silica differ only by about 17% (2.65 and 2.20 g/cm3, respectively), the helium permeability of silica glass is six orders more elevated Hardware than that of crystal quartz.This vast difference has puzzled researchers for decades considering that silica glass and quartz crystal have the same ch
