Abstract
The choice of a suitable material model to simulate process induced distortions is important in order to achieve a right first time approach in the design of new moulds. This work investigates the ability of the Cure Hardening Instantaneously Linear Elastic (CHILE) model and a linear viscoelastic material model to predict process induced distortions of an aerospace composite frame. The material models were coupled with a cure kinetics model and a chemical shrinkage model in order to capture the multi-physics phenomena that take place during the curing process. The modelling of the viscoelastic behaviour of the resin is performed with the use of a generalized Maxwell model. A novel methodology is applied for shifting the relaxation times of the composite based on its temperature and degree of cure. It is shown that the viscoelastic model more accurately predicts the measured distortions due to its ability to account for stress relaxation.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
