Abstract:The main focus of the study is the determination of residual stresses developed in thermoplastic composites during tape placement. An experimental characterization of the residual stresses is carried out and based on the measurement of the curvature variation with temperature for unsymmetrical laminates. The tested plates are made of APC-2 and processed on the SPIDE-TP, a filament winding machine based in Cetim, France. A thermo-mechanical model based on the modified laminate theory is used in this work. Heat … Show more
