Abstract:
The aim of our study is to develop mathematical model which can assist in improving industrial manufacturing of composite materials by compression molding process. Modeling based on the uni-directional compression of preimpregnated layers of deformable media filled with non-Newtonian fluid. The main idea is to used Eulerian coordinates and then Lagrangian coordinates fixed on sold preimpregnated pile by considering the dynamics controlled by pressure applied on the piston or velocity of piston.
