THE EFFECTS OF NESTING AND STACKING SEQUENCE ON THE STRUCTURAL AND GAS TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF PLAIN WOVEN COMPOSITES DURING CHEMICAL VAPOR INFILTRATION PROCESS

摘要

In this study, we numerically investigate the effects of nesting and stacking sequence on the structural and gas transport properties of plain woven composites during chemical vapor infiltration process. Our results show that the structural properties of these composites are strongly affected by nesting and slightly influenced by the stacking sequence, while the gas transport properties are strongly affected by nesting and stacking sequence.
