Effect of Post-Cure Heat-Treatment on Static and Fatigue Behaviour of XAS-914C Carbon Fibre Composite

摘要

XAS-914C carbon fibre composite requires a post cure heat treatment cycle to complete polymer cross linking in the epoxy matrix material. The effect of omitting the post cure cycle on the fatigue performance of 56 ply laminate containing impact damage and on the static compressive strength of the same laminate was investigated.
