The nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of adhesives and chopped fiber composites
The viscoelastic behavior of a chopped glass fiber/polyester sheet molding compound (SMC-25) and of a modified epoxy adhesive (Metlbond 1113-2) as determined by creep and creep recovery tests is presented. A nonlinear viscoelastic characterization method of Schapery is presented and applied to the …

Advanced Design Optimization for Composite Structure: Stress Reduction, Weight Decrease and Manufacturing Cost Savings
<p><em>An injection moldable chopped fiber composite actuator with detailed drawing and tolerances was designed within one year. A vendor was selected and a quote for injection molding tooling cost for production was obtained and the first prototype was built in addition of six months. The risks …

Process Development for Compression Molding of Hybrid Continuous and Chopped Carbon Fiber Prepreg for Production of Functionally Graded Composite Structures
… ME composites lab using unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg composites. A direct comparison was drawn between autoclave and compression molding methods to validate compression molding as an alternative manufacturing method in that lab. A method of manufacturing chopped fiber from existing …
