Abstract
A grid analysis method has been developed to quantify distortion in the UD plies. Staging the resin to 50% cure was shown to reduce ply distortion during moulding, whilst maintaining suitable inter-laminar shear strength. Adding an interfacial prepreg ply between the reinforcing UD fibres and the ASMC charge successfully prevented distortion in the UD fibres, avoiding shear thinning and fibre migration.
