RFI for more cost effective parts?
Advanced Composites Bulletin, April, 1996
As a route to producing large, cost effective primary structures from composites, a number of aircraft manufacturers on both sides of the Atlantic are examining the resin film infusion (RFI) process.
The complexity of the parts under consideration, and the costs associated with a trial and error route to process optimization, has made process simulation important. A research group at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI) in Blacksburg, USA, funded by NASA and Douglas Aircraft, has succeeded in simulating the RFI production of a blade striffened panel ('A process simulation model for the manufacture of a blade stiffened panel by the resin film infusion process' by Alfred C Loos and John D MacRae, Composites Science and Technology, Vol 56, No...
