In this paper the radial stiffness associated with stacking sequence effects, and the dimensional stability issue associated with thermally induced surface deformation in quasi-isotropic laminates due to the effect of stacking sequence and additional resin layer technique, are numerically investigated. Finally, the influence of surface resin layer techniques for fiber print-through mitigation in a composite mirror is tested for evaluation of surface accuracy across varying thermal conditions.
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.
