Abstract
Thermostamping is a low-cycle, high-volume manufacturing process for continuous fabric-reinforced composites. To ensure high-quality parts are manufactured during the thermostamping process, the mechanical behaviors of the fabric reinforcements and polymer matrix and the critical manufacturing process parameters must be thoroughly understood. Various mechanical tests are conducted to characterize the fabric-reinforcement and polymer-matrix mechanical behaviors, and analytical models (i.e., finite element models) are developed to predict part quality. This chapter describes the thermostamping process and provides examples of typical experimental and analytical methods used to create high-quality composite parts using the thermostamping process.
