Machine Learning Optimization for VARTM Carbon Polymer Laminates
Abstract: Vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM) is a key low-cost, out-of-autoclave process for manufacturing large-scale carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates crucial to aerospace wings, wind-turbine blades, marine hulls, and automotive structures. Unpredictable resin flow often leads to voids, dry spots, and race-tracking defects, resulting in 27.9% scrap rates and lengthy, costly trial-and-error design cycles. Although surrogate models provide rapid impregnation predictions for simple flat-plate geometries, vision-based monitoring is limited to idealized …
