Abstract:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a production imperfection, fiber distortions, on the resulting thermoelastic behaviour of composite materials in hexagonally packed Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) with finite elements micromechanical modelling. Instantaneous thermochemical and thermoelastic behavior of resin throughout the cure cycle is implemented into the model. This enables to calculate the resulting thermomechanical properties of composites, having fiber distortions from 0 to 18%… Show more
