Publication about the correlation between anisotropic electrical conductivity of fabric-reinforced TPC's and their thermal response
Read TPRC's latest publication performed by PhD Researcher Sebastiaan van den berg. The research is about the correlation between the anisotropic electrical conductivity of fabric-reinforced thermoplastic composites and their thermal response when heated by induction. Remko Akkerman, Martin Luckabauer and Sebastiaan Wijskamp have also contributed to this research.
The study found a linear correlation between a fabric-reinforced thermoplastic composite's in-plane anisotropic electrical conductivity and its thermal response when heated by induction. This research has important implications for the design and optimization of induction heating processes for fabric-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The results can be used to improve the efficiency and uniformity of the heating process, which can lead to improved weld quality and productivity.
