Sensor-model in-situ control of the RTM composite processThe paper reports on the use of in situ frequency dependent electromagnetic sensors (FDEMS) and the Loos resin transfer model to select and control the processing properties of an epoxy resin during RTM impregnation and cure. Once correlated with viscosity and degree of cure, FDEMS monitors the advancement of the resin, viscosity, and the impregnation of the fabric, allowing a direct means of monitoring in situ in the mold throughout the fabrication process the effects of time, temperature, vacuum, and pressure.
