EMBRAER/FAPESP research project entitled Manufacturing process simulation and interlaminar fracture toughness characterization of composites manufactured using resin infusion processes.

Description

Nowadays the development of low cost-effective manufacturing processes for composites is one of the main concern in the aerospace industry. The ASRG-ITA has been working on the development of numerical tools for optimum infusion arrangements of resin infusion based processes that allow manufacturing high quality composites at low cost.
