  • Online:2009-01-28 Published:2009-01-25

Abstract:

VARI plays a very important role in affordable composites. The strongpoint, shortcoming, manufacturing, resin distribution system and its application at home and abroad are introduced in this paper. The summarization indicates that VARI which is a lowcost technology fabricating composites has been widely applied, especially for bigsize production. The development of VARI will reduce the cost of composites and widen the application of composites. In addition, accurate simulation of resin distribution is very important for VARI, but there is few related research at home. This means a lot of works need to be done.
