This study investigates the influence of the lay-up and curing steps in the manufacturing process of CFRP on compressive strength. It compares Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) and manual lay-up (HLU), as well as the use of porous or non-porous consumables during curing. The results show that using non-porous consumables may result in heterogeneous mesostructures with gradients in fibre volume content. Experimental results suggest that AFP plates outperform HLU plates, especially in terms of reproducibility.
The influence of the lay-up and curing steps in the manufacturing process of CFRP is investigated in terms of compressive strength. Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) and manual lay-up (HLU), from the same pre-preg material, are compared as well as the use of a porous or non-porous consumable during curing. It is shown that the latter factor may result in heterogeneous mesostructures with gradients in fibre volume content from the top of the laminate to its centre. This made it necessary to propose a specific data analysis of the four-point bending test, used to evaluate the compressive strength of the most loaded unidirectional ply. Experimental results suggest a better performance of AFP vis-a-vis HLU plates, especially in terms of reproducibility. The increase in performance for plates using non porous consumables is discussed with respect to the relevance of using such a strategy on thin laminates for designing thick parts.
