Laminate thickness VS fiber and resin fraction
Laminate thickness VS fiber and resin fraction
(OP)
Hi everybody,
I am looking for a simple formula which gives the final laminate thickness in relation with fibre and resin volume fraction (assuming the void content is zero).
Best Regards

RE: Laminate thickness VS fiber and resin fraction
DATA : Ro_f (Density of fibre), Ro_m (density of resin)
wf (weight of fiber), Wf (fiber mass fraction),
Wm (resin mass fraction), A (area of laminate)
Thickness of composite (no voids):
Tc=(wf/A)*{Wm/Ro_m*[Wm/(1-Wm)]-1/Rof}
This is the minimum thickness without voids.
