Fabrication and Structural Performance of Random Wetlay Composite Sandwich Panels
The random wetlay process is used to make fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheets that can be compression molded into composite panels at little cost. By utilizing these composite panels as the facesheets of honeycomb sandwich structures, it is possible to greatly increase the bending stiffness of …

Mechanical Properties of Random Discontinuous Fiber Composites Manufactured from Wetlay Process
… has uniform properties in all directions. The wetlay process is an efficient method to manufacture random discontinuous thermoplastic preform sheets that can be molded into random composite plaques in the hot-press. Investigations were done on the molding parameters that included the set-point …
