Abstract:This study used the vacuum bag-only (VBO) process to fabricate angle composite parts with interleaved layup of prepreg and dry bers. The quality of angle parts is investigated by statistical methods, which are divided into two parts: geometric characteristics and internal characteristics. The results indicated that the part fabricated by the convex mold presented higher dimension stability and uniformity as compared to that by the concave mold. In addition, the lead caul plate could effectively improve the thi… Show more
