1. Compression moulding of thermoplastic composite sandwich components
Sammanfattning : The thesis investigates various aspects of compressionmoulding of sandwich components with thermoplastic-basedcomposite faces and thermoplastic or thermoset core.Compression moulding of glass/polypropylene (PP) faces toexpanded PP core is initially experimentally investigated usinga statistical experimental design approach.

2. Towards 3D modelling of Compression Moulding of SMC
Sammanfattning : The automotive industry is facing ever increasing demands for reduced emissions, and lightweight solutions are thusly required. One field that has significant potential in this regard is composite materials, which can offer a good combination of weight reduction and mechanical properties. LÄS MER
3. Testing and analysis of composites with 3D woven reinforcement
Sammanfattning : Composites with three-dimensional (3D) reinforcement have several benefits, compared to laminated composites. Their through-thickness reinforcement increase the out-of-plane properties significantly and could eliminate problems with delaminations. Also, these composites have proven to have great damage tolerance and energy absorption. LÄS MER
4. Tooling and processing for efficient and high tolerance prepreg composite manufacturing
Sammanfattning : Composite use is normally motivated in aircraft design by improved weight-specific mechanical properties as compared to metals. However, fatigue and dielectric properties may also be critical for material selection. LÄS MER
5. Towards defect free forming of multi-stacked composite aerospace components using tailored interlayer properties
Sammanfattning : Use of lightweight materials is an important part of reduction of fuel consumption by commercial aircraft. A considerable number of structural aircraft parts are therefore built of thin layers of epoxy pre-impregnated carbon fibres stacked to laminates. LÄS MER
