    摘要: A mold for manufacturing a turbomachine fan casing of composite material, includes a mandrel around which a fibrous preform of the fan casing is to be wound; counter-mold angular sectors assembled on the external contour of the mandrel which are intended to close the mold and to compact the fibrous preform wound on the mandrel; wherein each angular sector includes a first lateral flange positioned at the first end of the angular sectors and a second lateral flange positioned at a second end of the angular sectors, the first and second lateral flanges cooperating respectively with the second and first lateral flanges of the adjacent angular sectors. An angular sector includes a first groove formed in the first of second lateral flange, a first seal being positioned in the first groove, the first seal to be compressed between the first and second lateral flanges of two adjacent angular sectors.

    摘要: A method for producing a fiber composite component is disclosed. A sensor device having a flexible circuit carrier and/or a sensor module is integrated in the fiber composite component. The method comprises: loading a tool configured to produce the fiber composite component with textile layers and the sensor device; closing the loaded tool and compressing the textile layers and the sensor device; introducing a liquid matrix into the closed tool and impregnating the textile layers to produce the fiber composite component; detecting an acceleration in relation to the closing of the tool and/or the introducing of the liquid matrix, using at least one of the sensor device and the sensor module of the sensor device; and determining a process state and/or a process parameter based on a spectral analysis of the detected acceleration in a frequency domain.

    摘要: A valve assembly for resin transfer molding is provided. The valve assembly includes an inlet positioned to receive a fluid. The valve assembly additionally includes a valve shaft positioned to receive the fluid from the inlet. The valve assembly further includes an outlet positioned to receive the fluid from the inlet. The valve assembly also includes an injection port positioned to receive the fluid from the valve shaft. The valve assembly also includes a piston configured to move coaxially within the valve shaft, such that the fluid is delivered from the inlet to the outlet when the piston is in a first position, and the fluid is delivered from the inlet to the injection port when the piston is in a second position.

    摘要: Provided is a method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced resin molded article capable of distributing the pressure without concentration on the vicinity of the resin inlet and so preventing the deformation of a preform, and such a manufacturing device thereof. The method lowers a lower core as a moving core in a lower mold (first mold) (away from a preform) to let resin flow toward the lower mold (first mold). This distributes the pressure concentrated in the vicinity of the resin inlet and prevents deformation of the preform.

    摘要: A method and device for mixing plastic from liquid components in a mixer (8) and conveying it through a line (10) into a mould (12), in particular for vacuum infusion, characterised in that the components are each pumped by means of a pump (24) from their own respective component container (22) into a mixer (8) and are mixed therein, that these volume flows are controlled by a controller (26) in such a manner that they supply the components to the mixer (8) in a specific ratio, that the pressure loss in the line (10), between a pressure sensor in one of the component supply lines (32) leading to the mixer (8) and the mould (12), is determined, and that the pressure is measured by the pressure sensor and supplied to a controller (26) which, taking into consideration the determined pressure loss, controls the volume flows such that the pumps (24) supply the components to the mixer (8) at a pressure that is greater than the ambient pressure or than another specific pressure that should not be exceeded in the mould (12) by at most the pressure loss.
