Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Pre-Preg Gaps for the Automated Production of Fiber Metal Laminates Open
Gaps in pre-preg plies, in a case when adjacent plies do not align perfectly, may represent a significant issue in an automated fibre placement manufacturing process and can be detrimental to the properties of the final laminates. In order…
