Abstract

Composite products under vacuum infusion are formed by impregnating a reinforcing filler with resin by means of a vacuum. The task of designing the infusion process involves the development of a system of infusion. A mathematical model of the impregnation process which allows carrying out virtual technological experiments in order to find the optimal method of product impregnation is described. Examples of numerical simulation are given.
