Abstract
Carbon Fibre Sheet Moulding Compounds (CF-SMCs) are lightweight materials very suitable for automotive parts. So far, their use was limited to thin components. This work presents a feasibility study on the compression moulding of a thick-walled SMC component, with a compound of randomly oriented chopped carbon fibre tapes. Bending tests were used to evaluate the effects of the manufacturing conditions on the mechanical performance. The choice of...
