Hi, are there some formulas to compute the permeability in all the directions (k1,k2,k3) and the porosity of a fiber lamina? If not how to find them?I need them to run a PAM-RTM simulation. Thanks.
Porosity is the ratio of reinforcement weight to weight of solid block of same dimensions as the reinforcement. Permeability has to be measured experimentally for each layup. Use darcy's law for the permeability
Thanks dear sir Pramod Vadavkar. For the permeability it's ok but for the porosity I do not understand properly your explaination it's like some parts of your sentence are not here.
Take weight (w1)of approx 200 mm (length)x 200 mm (breadth) x t mm (thickness) of reinforcement ( the thickness must be as per your designed layup). Calculate the weight (w2)of 200 mm x 200 mm x t mm solid block of the reinforcement.. Take ratio of
