For the two reference fabric optimum pressure and target fibre volume fraction are defined, and the necessary adaptation of the model for a more accurate description of the direct thermoplastic injection impregnation is discussed.enFabric compactionFabric relaxationFlow modellingThermoplastic compositesThrough thickness impregnationConference PaperOther
