“…Other methods to verify the parallelism between compaction plates such as calibrated shims do not consider the influence of the machine compliance at high loads in the orientation between plates. [17][18][19] The existing literature on self-alignment between plates is currently limited. Upon the publication of the second round of benchmark results, 13 multiple approaches to aligning compaction plates will become available.…”

The compaction of a fabric reinforcement in a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) allows to determine the achievable fiber volume fraction across a wide range of pressures, a valuable information for composite manufacturing. As seen in the first international compressibility benchmark, inaccuracies in the fabric stack thickness measurement, the approach to compliance correction and the non-parallelism between compaction plates resulted in highly inaccurate compression curves. In this paper, the different variability sources affecting indirect thickness methods, based on the machine displacement, and direct methods with laser sensors are presented and its impact on the accuracy is estimated. In conclusion, both thickness measurement methods produced similar results; however, the thickness measured by direct methods experienced more variability due to minor changes in the rig’s displacement or the orientations between plates, combined with other sources of variability such as external interferences or vibrations from the compaction plate which led to variations in measurement precision throughout the tests.
