The increased usage of fiber reinforced polymer composites in load bearing applications
requires a detailed understanding of the process induced residual stresses and their effect …

Abstract We present a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) to simulate the
thermochemical evolution of a composite material on a tool undergoing cure in an …

Process-induced deformation (PID) is unavoidable during thermosetting composite
manufacturing, and the PID may reduce the assembly accuracy and even cause a service …

In the production of composite parts the pertinent processing parameters are time,
temperature, and pressure. A judicious choice of these three parameters pro duces …

In this work, an integrated numerical approach for predicting the damage mechanism of
unidirectional CFRP composites at the micro-scale level has been developed using a multi …

Out-of-plane fiber waviness, also referred to as wrinkling, is considered one of the most
significant effects that occur in composite materials. It significantly affects mechanical …

Continuous fiber-reinforced composites are increasingly used in civil aviation for their
superior mechanical properties and light weight. However, the process-induced deformation …

The mechanisms causing residual stresses and distortions are considered, and the way they
develop during the cure discussed. Experimental results are presented through the cure …

Manufacture of large composite structures presents a number of challenges, one of the most
critical of which is prediction and control of process-induced deformation. Traditional …
