Effects of defects on laminate quality and mechanical performance in thermoplastic Automated Fiber Placement-based process chains

Automated Fiber Placement of thermoplastic unidirectional tape materials offers several advantages over conventional organosheets, such as enhanced part performance through tailored fiber architecture, and economic and ecological benefits due to scrap reduction. Because material is cut perpendicular...
