The article presents a technique for process-induced residual strain modeling for thermoset composite material parts. The model takes into account the mechanical and thermal contact between the part and the mold. The technique is implemented in the ABAQUS software using user subroutines. Using the technique, it is possible to clarify the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient on the surface of the part and mold using the CFD method. Distribution of heat transfer coefficients are obtained in ANSYS CFX under the appropriate process conditions. The method is verified for the U-shaped sample. Also, the results of modeling the stringer-stiffened curved composite panel using the developed technique without taking into account the mold and heat transfer coefficient distribution are presented.
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.
