Characterization of shear stress at the tool-part interface during autoclave processing of prepreg composites

Joven, Ronald; Tavakol, Behrouz; Rodriguez, Alejandro J.; Guzman, Mauricio E.; Minaie, Bob (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013-08-15)

In this article, shear stress between an aluminum tool and a carbon fiber-epoxy prepreg is characterized during cure using polymeric release agent and release film at the tool-part interface. The effects of surface roughness, ...
Prediction of residual stresses and distortion in carbon fiber-epoxy composite parts due to curing process using finite element analysis

Tavakol, Behrouz; Roozbehjavan, Pooneh; Ahmed, Ashraf Uddin; Das, Rony; Joven, Ronald; Koushyar, Hoda; Rodriguez, Alejandro J.; Minaie, Bob (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-04-15)

To predict the final geometry of carbon fiber-epoxy composite parts, a methodology is introduced that takes into account cure kinetics, cure shrinkage, thermal strains, tool-part interface, and development of mechanical ...
