Abstract:Process modeling is an indispensable tool for establishing a foundation for process optimization and enhancing the quality of products. Analyzing the thermoforming process of polymer matrix composites presupposes the acquisition of accurate thermal histories. This paper introduces a numerical solution based on the finite difference (FD) model to predict the temperature field of angle‐ply composite structures during automated fiber placement (AFP) process along the machining trajectory. The proposed method inco… Show more
