Figure 4.15. Resin Pressure Distribution 5 Minutes After Time of Full Contact.<br />
The model also was developed to indicate where patterns of high magnitude of resin<br />
velocity and direction are likely to collide, with a pink color indicating a high value, the blue a<br />
lower but still significant value. Since the pressure distribution for a contact area is parabolic,<br />
the maximum pressure is found in the center, with values tapering off to nearly zero at the<br />
edges. When the two major contact areas (accompanied <strong>by</strong> the twin peaks of resin pressure)<br />
collide, the sum of any adjacent CVs will increase, especially at the forefront of the two flows<br />
being joined together. The model measures this value, and compares it to the average resin<br />
flow velocity for all CVs within the laminate. Blue indicates regions that greater than or equal to<br />
twice the average; pink indicates three times the average. The model output included this<br />
pattern, where the pink column of resin flow velocity figures indicate a high magnitude of resin<br />
pressure collisions are occurring (Figure 4.16).<br />
