Imparting Robustness to Out-of-Autoclave Prepregs

09 Mar 2023 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

Autoclaves have long been used to ensure robustness in the production of composite parts. However, they present a production bottleneck, as well as high capital and recurring costs. Out-of-autoclave prepregs were introduced to allow oven curing and thereby address some of these issues. These OoA...

Interlaminar Stresses in Symmetric Angle-Ply Laminates Subjected to Anticlastic Bending Deformation

04 Jun 2014 | Tool Information

The aim of the present work is to develop a solution for the interlaminar stress field in a symmetric and balanced,  angle-ply laminate subjected to anticlastic bending deformation.  Further, this class of problems is considered in order to elucidate the behavior of angle-ply laminates...

Master Laminates to Simplify Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of Composites

12 Dec 2022 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Johnathan Goodsell

Composite materials and structures have traditionally been viewed as more complicated than metals. With master stiffness and failure envelopes composites are as simple as metals. Stiffness of laminates can be split into two part: one for trace that represents the total stiffness capacity; one for...
