Abstract

A numerical model is developed to predict the process induced deformations of continuous fibre reinforced plastic plates which is made of AS4/8552 (Carbon fibre/epoxy) prepregs. In this way, Manufacturing costs can be reduced with elimination of trial and error approach. Sources of the process induced residual stress are clarified with the help of literature and implemented in 3D numerical model. In addition to the literature review to examine separate sources for residual stresses, an experimental measurement is conducted to observe tool part interaction which is quantified with strain gage which is embedded in prepreg. Numerical model is modified and verified with respect to overall deformation field of manufactured parts. Individual contribution of different mechanisms on overall deformation is discussed with the help of the numerical model. Moreover anisotropic friction between tool and the part is proposed to enhance the predictions of 3-D numerical model.
