ABSTRACT
Manufacturing techniques play an essential role in obtaining optimum mechanical properties of composites. Vacuum-assisted resin infusion (VARI) is a composite fabrication approach for optimal fiber volume fraction. Here, we present a protocol for manufacturing glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) samples by applying VARI to a modified complex Arcan fixture. We describe steps for material preparation, molding preparation, setting vacuum system, resin mixing, and degassing. We then detail procedures for vacuum infusion process and cutting composites for shear testing samples. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Alandro et al.1.
