| Summary: | Fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are gaining popularity in many industries
due to their short consolidation cycles, among other advantages over thermoset-based composites.
Computer aided manufacturing processes, such as filament winding and automated fiber placement,
have been used conventionally for thermoset-based composites. The automated processes can be
adapted to include in situ consolidation for the fabrication of thermoplastic-based composites. In this
paper, a detailed literature review on the factors affecting the in situ consolidation process is presented.
The models used to study the various aspects of the in situ consolidation process are discussed.
The processing parameters that gave good consolidation results in past studies are compiled and
highlighted. The parameters can be used as reference points for future studies to further improve the
automated manufacturing processes. |
