Abstract

The composites manufacturing process is available to process various types of reinforcement and resin system. Resin Transfer Mould (RTM) is one of the processes for making the composite part. Meanwhile, Hand Lay Up process is used for making the mould for the Resin Transfer Mould part. The final year project’ s aims to design the composite part of Resin Transfer Mold, design the mould for the Resin Transfer Mold process and to perform the analysis which consists of fluid flow analysis for RTM mould and stress analysis of the Resin Transfer Mold part. The 3D model was designed by using SolidWorks Premium 2012 software. The fluid flow analysis was simulated by using SolidWorks FloXpress Wizard Analysis and the stress analysis was being simulated by using Solid Works Simulation Xpress. The stress analysis results show that the Von Mises Stress and Resultant Displacement is directly proportional to the pressure applied. Meanwhile, the Factor of Safety value is indirectly proportional to the pressure applied. The yield strength value plays important role in stress analysis. By doing the fluid flow simulation, the result shows that the maximum velocity of fluid flow is 0.119 m/s. The Reynolds number is less than 1 show that the flow of fluid is laminar.
