Silvering is when bubbles are formed under the laminate because of lack of heat lack of tension or both.
Tension laminate to form cylinder.
Silvering and lack of tension.
Any flexible connector such as a.
However unwind rolls with torque control will not create constant tension unless diameter changes and inertia are accounted for.
Solve for tension in longer leg.
Oo 1 0 fo oz 1 0 fz 6 where oo and oz are the nominal hoop and axial stresses in the tubular specimens and fo and fz are the laminate strengths in uniaxial tension.
Ply level stresses are the commonly used approach to laminate strength.
The word tension comes from a latin word meaning to stretch not coincidentally the flexible cords that carry muscle forces to other parts of the body are called tendons.
The stretch also known as strain from tension is the paramount issue with lamination.
In sizing a cylinder to tension the above cable do not add tension in both legs.
The analysis of laminates by the use of a ply by ply model is presented in section 4 3 and 4 4.
Ply tension and compression strengths perpendicular to the fibers.
Y t y c.
One cylinder will tension both legs of the cable.
Ply tension and compression strengths parallel to the fibers.
One of the laminate coordinates.
Increase the feed spool s tension one of the reasons for bubbling is inadequate tension between the paper and the pouch leading to air getting trapped.
One of the laminate coordinates.
Use multiplier 7 57 shown on same line.
Tension can be measured by a variety of methods and it can be stated in pounds of force tension.
Enter left column of chart and find ratio 7 50.
Ratio a b 15 2 7 50.
Provide adequate and uniform nip roll pressure.
The average stresses in a given ply are used to calculate first ply failure and then subsequent ply failure leading to laminate failure.
Laminate failure criteria the maximum stress criterion of failure for a composite laminate subjected to in plane biaxial stresses is.
α ij i j 1 2 6 entries of inverse of laminate stiffness matrix relating to membrane.
Allow minimum adhesive dwell time of 15 30 minutes before liner removal 24 hours is preferable.
It is important to fiquantifyfl tension by measuring it so that it can be understood controlled and repeated from one job to the next.
Provide good roll wrap i e 180 web tension and steering for a wrinkle free laminate.
Tension 7 57 x 3 000 lbs.
If you don t let your machine warm up to the proper temperature it might form cool spots.
One of the laminate coordinates.
A common issue in laminating that leads to bubbles may be silvering.
Don t force the pouch some people push the pouch through the laminator to try and laminate faster but this can cause bubbling.
Try feeding the pouch slowly to avoid the problem.
To create a consistent laminated product you want constant tension or strain.
