Advanced Manufacturing Technology: Experiment and Quality Control

This report presents three experiments in advanced manufacturing technology. The first experiment focuses on calculating kinetic and rheology constants using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and viscometer measurements to model the viscosity curves and determine cure kinetic models. The second experiment explores process optimization by creating a rheology model to optimize the temperature profile for resin flow, focusing on fiber stack wet-out time and tool surface. The third experiment concentrates on quality control testing, including measuring glass transition temperature using DSC, tensile modulus, and internal porosity using ultrasonic techniques. The report details experimental procedures, data analysis, and conclusions for each experiment, providing insights into the application of these techniques in manufacturing processes and quality assurance.
