METHOD OF MESH GENERATION FOR RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING PROCESS
The present disclosure provides a method of mesh generation for an RTM process, including operations of: obtaining a geometry of a target object; generating a solid mesh of the target object according to the geometry; obtaining material characteristics of the target object; assembling a runner mesh with the solid mesh, wherein the runner mesh has grid dimensions different from those of the solid mesh; determining process parameters of the RTM process; and generating a forecasted result of the RTM process according to the solid mesh, the runner mesh, the process parameters, and the material characteristics. Generating the solid mesh includes operations of: dividing the geometry into modules; generating a first and second modular meshes corresponding to a first and second modules, wherein the second modular mesh abuts the first modular mesh, and the second modular mesh has grid dimensions different from those of the first modular mesh.
COMPOSITE REBAR WITH POST-GRINDING SURFACE TREATMENT
A composite rebar having ridges formed therein by grinding is buffed and/or coated to reduce the surface roughness caused by fibers extending from the rebar.
FIBER-REINFORCED RESIN MATERIAL, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME, AND FIBER-REINFORCED RESIN STRUCTURE
The fiber-reinforced resin material of the present invention is a fiber-reinforced resin material having a laminated structure in which fiber assembly layers and thermoplastic resin layers are alternately located, wherein the fiber assembly layers are each an assembly of continuous fibers having thermoplastic resin particles attached to surfaces thereof, and the fiber-reinforced resin material has a higher elongation on one surface side than that on the other surface side. The fiber-reinforced resin structure is made of the present fiber-reinforced resin material. A method for manufacturing the present fiber-reinforced resin material includes: a stacking step of stacking a sheet-shaped product of the continuous fibers that serves as the fiber assembly layer and a resin sheet that serves as the thermoplastic resin layer so as to obtain the laminated structure; and a hot-pressing step of heating and compressing a stacked product obtained through the stacking step in a stacking direction.
Laminate
A laminate, containing two or more polyolefin resin layers, wherein at least one polyolefin resin layer (A) contains a cellulose fiber including a cellulose fiber having a fiber length of 0.3 mm or more dispersed in the layer; a content of the cellulose fiber in the polyolefin resin layer (A) is 1% by mass or more and less than 60% by mass; and wherein a polyolefin resin layer (B) different from the polyolefin resin layer (A) is laminated in contact with the polyolefin resin layer (A).
HYBRID VEIL AS INTERLAYER IN COMPOSITE MATERIALS
A flexible, self-supporting hybrid veil that is permeable to liquid and gas. The hybrid veil includes: (a) intermingled, randomly arranged fibres in the form of a nonwoven structure; (b) particles dispersed throughout the nonwoven structure, wherein a majority of the particles are penetrating through the thickness of the nonwoven structure; and (c) a polymeric or resinous binder present throughout the veil. Such hybrid veil can be incorporated into composite laminates, prepregs, fabrics and fibrous preforms.
Methods of manufacturing a high friction composite material for footwear
The present invention provides a method of producing the composite comprising: a) melt blending the matrix with the fibers to produce a melted composite, b) injecting the melted composite into a mold and allowing the melted composite to solidify and, c) removing at least a portion of the outermost layer of a composite such that the fibers protrude from the surface of the composite. Also provided is composite produced by the methods of the invention comprising soft and hard fibers embedded in a soft rubber-like matrix, wherein the fibers protrude from the composite's surface. In specific embodiments, the composite comprises carbon fibers and poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers in a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix, wherein the fibers protrude from the composite's surface. Slip-resistant product comprising the composite are also provided.
COMPOSITE PANEL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
A composite panel including a vibration suppression layer includes: a rubber material; a first structure material layer positioned on the vibration suppression layer and including a fiber reinforced plastic (FRP); and a second structure material layer positioned under the vibration suppression layer and including a fiber reinforced plastic.
