| Summary: | Conventionally, composite laminates were manufactured by applying vacuum bagging
setup in an autoclave machine. However, the process needs a long production time and
requires high-cost equipment. Alternatively, vacuum-bagging-only techniques are
introduced as it does not require an autoclave vessel for the manufacturing procedure.
However, this alternative suffers from manufacturing-induced defects such as void
formation which will affect the mechanical properties of the produced laminates. This
study investigates the effects of vacuum-bagging techniques and curing profiles on the
void formation of carbon-epoxy laminates with complex shapes. |
