Consequently, if the impact of resin viscosity changes over time on the internal resin fluidity is not considered during the infusion process, this may result in the incomplete impregnation of the hose, characterized by the presence of numerous voids. This phenomenon adversely affects the quality of the pipe\u2019s curing and forming process. Therefore, based on the characteristic variations in resin viscosity, this paper considers the changes in fluidity caused by the resin\u2019s temporal evolution within the material. We establish a finite element simulation model to calculate and analyze the overall infusion effects of resin viscosity changes during the hose infusion process. Furthermore, based on the predicted analysis, a variable parameter infusion strategy is proposed to increase resin impregnation in the hose, thereby reducing internal void content and subsequently improving the quality of material curing and forming.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym16101328","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,9]],"date-time":"2024-05-09T03:34:19Z","timestamp":1715225659000},"page":"1328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Simulation Study and Optimization Strategies for Vacuum Infusion of GFRP Hoses Based on Resin Time-Viscosity Variables"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yue","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Power Engineering, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4737-5662","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiazhong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3243-7010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meijun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tianyu","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intelligent Equipment, Changzhou College of Information Technology, Changzhou 213164, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"123","article-title":"Research progress on creep properties of glass fiber reinforced thermosetting plastic pipes","volume":"7","author":"Yang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Compos.
