Influence of post curing methodology on strength of polymer matrix composites with a circular hole and square inbuilt patches

Optimization of Composite Material Repair Patch Shape Based on Strength Analysis

“…V. Rao, R. Singh [9], J. Xiong [10], and others introduced an experimental study on the residual strength and fatigue crack propagation life of glass epoxy composite patched repairs on edge-cracked aluminum specimens and judged the effectiveness of the repair through static strength and fatigue tests. N. Yathisha [11] studied the influence of drilling holes in glass fiber-reinforced composite materials, including the effect of adding square inserts below the outermost layer in the stacking sequence on the strength of laminates before and after post-curing. Sameer H [12] et al conducted full-scale composite repair static tensile experiments to determine the strength of components after repair.…”

A Review of Microwave Curing Technique to Fabricate Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites

“…The processing conditions including rate and temperature affect the quality of adhesively bonded composites [10]. In some studies, after the composites are manufactured, they undergo a post-curing process to improve their mechanical and thermal properties and diminish any residual stresses that may be present [11][12][13]. In traditional conventional heating processing techniques, the heating rate affects the temperature change and properties of the material.…”

“…Researchers have recently interested in studying the ideal processing parameters to produce high quality of composites by utilizing microwave-assisted curing. According to Naik, Singh and Sharma (2022), microwave curing has been employed in the creation of thermoset polymer composites since 1980 [13]. Microwave curing of composites has more benefits than just saving energy and time during production.…”
