Abstract

This work aims to numerically simulating the resin injection manufacturing process of a polymer composite,reinforced with ribbons of NiTishape memory alloy, using the software Ansys CFX®. The multiphase flow mathematical modeling was used to describe the transient and isothermal resin-air flow during the process. Results of the pressure fields, velocity andvolume fractionsof the involved phases are presented. The fluid flow inside the mold was compared withthe flow between parallel flat plates and showed to be consistent. Process parameters, such as resin volumetric flow rate, resin inlet and air outlet positions have a large influence in the mold filling time, volume and position of voids fractions inside de mold and final product quality.
