| Summary: | The aim of this study was to optimize the fabrication process of filament winding of
thermoplastic composite pipes through fine-tuning parameters and explore how
different fabrication process parameters can potentially affect its final properties.
The fabrication process includes filament winding and consolidation of thermoplastic
composite pipes. Parameters include winding speed, angle, laminae, curing
temperature, and duration. The quality of thermoplastic composite pipes fabricated
was assessed based on their stiffness, stiffness factor, and percentage deflection.
The results showed that having the right winding velocity, tension, curing
temperature, and curing duration is vital to the mechanical properties of the
composite. The results presented in this report will serve as a guideline or benchmark
for future research purposes in using the right settings and conditions. |
