An intra-yarn capillary pressure and permeability assessment with a new suitable device
Résumé
The present work sets a methodology to extend the applicability of permeability and capillary pressure
characterisation at the yarn scale more than the usual fabric scale. It is required for simulation of
manufacturing by Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) processes of 3D reinforcements such as
interlocks. A proof of concept demonstrating the extendibility of the theories developed for fabrics is
shown and an application in numerical simulation will be shown in further works.
