| Abstract | Effect of fiber volume fraction on occurrence, morphology, and spatial distribution of microvoids in resin transfer molded E-glass/epoxy composites is investigated. Three disk-shaped center-gated composite parts containing 8, 12, and 16 layers of randomly-oriented, E-glass fiber perform are molded, yielding 13.5, 20.5 and 27.5% fiber volume fractions, respectively. Voids throughout these disk-shaped composites are evaluated by microscopic image analysis of samples obtained along the radius. Each identified void’s equivalent radius, area, and shape are determined at 200x magnification. Number of voids is found to decrease moderately with increasing fiber content. Void areal density decreased from 10.5 to 9.5 voids/mm2 as fiber content is increased from 13.5 to 27.5% fiber content. Similarly, void volume fraction decreased from 3.1 to 2.5%. Average void size is observed to remain similar at 53 to 55 μm when the fiber content is increased from 13.5 to 27.5%. Increasing fiber volume fraction from 13.5 to 27.5% lowers the contribution of irregularly-shaped voids from 40% of total voids down to 22.4%. Along the radial direction, combined effects of void formation by mechanical entrapment and void mobility are shown to yield a spatially complex void distribution. However, increasing fiber content is observed to affect the void formation mechanisms as more voids are able to move towards the exit vents during molding. These findings are believed to be applicable not only to resin transfer molding, but generally to liquid composite molding processes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
