Abstract:The objective of this report is to describe thermoplastic composite materials and processes and to demonstrate fabrication methods for molding these materials into transit bus flooring components or other large components for use in buses and other mass transit applications. The primary goal of this work is to demonstrate that these technologies can provide lower cost, lighter weight, and improved performance structures for mass transit applications. This fabrication guide was written to outline the basic requirements involved in design and fabrication of large long-fiber thermoplastic composite parts by Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM)or by Thermoforming woven prepreg.
