The Hand Making of Radius Fillers and the Establishment of its Evaluative Requirements

Abstract:

Radius filler is a kind of filling material which is used in triangle gap of the composite girder and rib. To optimize the hand-made craft of radius fillers and specify the evaluative requirements for detecting radius fillers, a research on handcraft parameters of the radius fillers had been conducted; the boundary dimension, microstructure and mechanical property of the R6 radius fillers had been characterized with the use of different detective methods and the microanalysis includes: nondestructive testing; microscope photos; fiber volume fraction and void content. The evaluative requirements to detect the quality of radius fillers have been established and its validity has been confirmed by the R8 radius fillers.
