Effects of Process Parameters in Thermoforming of Unidirectional Fibre-Reinforced Thermoplastics

Process-induced defects during thermoforming are widespread problems in laminate manufacturing. The aim of this study is to describe the effects of holding time and pressure on several properties of the manufactured laminate. A design of experiments is performed, followed by an analysis of variance...
