Apparatus for ultrasonic processing of laminates

摘要

A method and an apparatus for ultrasonic debulking a composite laminate (105) includes the steps applying (203) a force to and transmitting ultrasonic vibration into the laminate (105). The method further includes determining (205) a temperature of a surface of the laminate (105) and varying (207) an angle at which the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the laminate (105) based upon the determined temperature of the surface of the laminate (105).
