Problems and Progress in the Characterisation and Stress Analysis of Moulded Fibre-Reinforced Composities: A Thermoelastic Approach

摘要

Fibre-reinforced composite components manufactured by compression moulding present special difficulties to the stress analyst because of the spatial variations in the material and mechanical properties developed as a results of the moulding operation. Two procedures have been developed, based on the thermoelastic stress analysis technique, to help in the stress analysis of such components.
