Mechanisms generating residual stresses and distortion during manufacture of polymer-matrix composite structures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the mechanisms causing residual stresses and distortions in unsymmetric laminates and the way they develop during the cure cycle. But they did not consider the effect of tool-part interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Plane Strain Model for Process-Induced Deformation of Laminated Composite Structures
TL;DR: In this article, a plane strain finite element model for simulation of the development of process-induced deformation during autoclave processing of complex-shaped composite structures is presented, where a "cure-hardening" mechanism is used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and numerical study of the effect of cure cycle, tool surface, geometry, and lay-up on the dimensional fidelity of autoclave-processed composite parts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an experimental study that shows that spring-in can be strongly affected by a number of factors such as cure cycle, tool surface, part geometry, and lay-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review on the Mechanical Modeling of Composite Manufacturing Processes
TL;DR: Development of numerical process models is required for virtual design and optimization of the composite manufacturing process which avoids the expensive trial-and-error based approaches.

Spring-in and warpage of angled composite laminates
Carolyne Albert,Göran Fernlund +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large number of experiments were performed to examine the effect of design and process parameters on spring-in and warpage of composite laminates with a symmetrical lay-up.

Curing of Epoxy Matrix Composites
TL;DR: In this article, a computer code was developed for flat-plate composites cured by a specific cure cycle, providing the temperature distribution, the degree of cure of the resin, the resin viscosity inside the composite, the void sizes, the temperatures and pressures inside voids, and the residual stress distribution after the cure.

Theory of mechanical properties of fibre-strengthened materials—III. self-consistent model
TL;DR: In this article, the overall moduli of an arbitrary fiber composite with transversely isotropic phases are estimated by a method previously used for dispersion composites and polycrystals.

Two-Dimensional Cure Simulation of Thick Thermosetting Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation into the two-dimensional cure simulation of thick thermosetting composites is presented, where temperature and degree of cure distributions within arbitrary cross-sectional geometries are predicted as a function of the autoclave temperature history.
