Abstract
ABSTRACT Contact resistances play a major role in Joule heating systems. Identifying contact resistances provides a better understanding of the heating process and increases the accuracy of the process models. In this study, contact resistances of the Joule heating section in a powder-epoxy-based towpregging line were explored. For different process parameters, such as production speed, tension, and temperature, contact resistances occurring between metal roller electrodes and dry carbon fibre tows (i.e. without powder-epoxy) were measured to gain an insight into the heating process. Moreover, the effect of contact resistance heating on the temperature profile of the carbon fibre tows was determined with an infrared thermal camera. A simplified finite element model was developed to calculate the temperature distribution onthe carbon fibre tow, which showed a good agreement with the experimental data. Results suggest that contact resistances in the towpregging line were significant and contact resistance heating changed the heating profile.
期刊介绍:
Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.
