Abstract

The paper considers the curing process of a thermosetting unidirectional glass/epoxy composite material system. The curing is designed as a two-stage cycle, where the two-stage curing refers to the curing of one area of the laminate prior to the other. The purpose of this is to develop cure induced residual stresses in the laminate aiming for a future examination of their effect on the mechanical properties. The aim of this paper is to confirm that the developed mould tool has the ability to achieve a well-defined two-stage curing cycle. Furthermore, the predictions of a numerical model of the curing process against measured Tg values for the considered glass/epoxy system is validated.
