Abstract

Thermal expansion is an important property to define the end use application, and to model residual stresses and related problems in a composite part. Thus its accurate determination is essential. In laminated composites, this parameter depends largely on the orientation of fibres, fibre fraction, type of resin and reinforcement, etc. In this article, numerical results on the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) at different angles in the composite plates (having different stacking sequences of plies) found using finite element analysis are presented. Experimental determined values of these coefficients for [0/90] are found in satisfactory agreement with the simulations. Finally, a mathematical model is proposed for modelling these coefficients.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
