The purpose of this research is to determine residual thermal stresses in a unidirectional
graphite-fiberT/PMR-15 polyimide composite by using crystalline inclusions. X-ray diffraction …

Existing methods of measuring residual stresses in composite materials are often
categorized into two broad groups: destructive and nondestructive. Destructive testing …

This chapter presents a review of the formation and effects of thermal residual stresses, as
well as methods of measuring and predicting them. The first part of this chapter focuses on …

This paper describes the details of a novel procedure called the cure-referencing method
(CRM) to measure the strains associated with residual stresses on the surface of composite …

The dominant fiber direction of a single-ply satin woven fabric is different depending on
whether it is the upper or lower side. This affects the thermal distortion of laminates and …

A non-destructive method, called the Cure Referencing Method (CRM), was developed to
measure the residual stresses in laminated composites. The method incorporates the use of …
