A model is presented that relates the cure cycle (cure temperature, cure pressure, cure time) to the local temperature, viscosity, degree of cure of the resin, and resin flow perpendicular to the fibers. The results of the model are applicable to the curing process for epoxy matrix composites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
