INTIMATE CONTACT DEVELOPMENT IN LASER ASSISTED FIBER PLACEMENT

Thijs Kok (TPRC) Wouter Grouve (TPRC) Laurent Warnet (University of Twente) Remko Akkerman (University of Twente)

 

Experimental research on the intimate contact development during the laser assisted fiber placement process. The results suggest that the thermoplastic composite tape deconsolidates during the process, which might significantly affect the intimate contact development.
