Provides analytical and numerical insights into process variability for composite manufacturing, but is incremental in nature.
The paper analyzes stochastic resin transfer molding as a random moving boundary problem, showing that fill time variability depends on correlation lengths and smoothness of random permeability fields.
We consider one-dimensional and two-dimensional models of the stochastic resin transfer molding process, which are formulated as random moving boundary problems. We study their properties, analytically in the one-dimensional case and numerically in the two-dimensional case. We show how variability of time to fill depends on correlation lengths and smoothness of a random permeability field.
