To meet the expectation of the industry, resin transfer molding (RTM) has become one of the most promising polymer processing methods to manufacture fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) with light weight, high strength, and multifunctional features. The permeability and porosity of fiber reinforcements are two of the primary properties that control the flow of resin in fibers and are critical to numerical simulations of RTM. In the past, various permeability measurement methods have been developed in the literature. However, limitations still exist. Furthermore, porosity is often measured independently of permeability. As a result, the two measurements do not necessarily relate to the same entity, which may increase the time and labor costs associated with experiments and affect result interpretation. In this work, a measurement system was developed by fusing the signals from capacitive sensing and flow visualization, based on which a novel algorithm was developed. Without complicated sensor design or expensive instrumentation, both in-plane permeability and porosity can be simultaneously estimated. The feasibility of the proposed method was illustrated by experiments and verified with numerical simulations.
