Abstract:

Based on porous media theory, a three dimensional flowthermal field numerical model was developed by the volume averaging method and effective stress theory, for considation of autoclave process, assuming that the prepregs were deformable porous medium. The fiber deformation, change of the volume fraction and permeability varied with the volume fraction of fiber was considered. ALE moving mesh method and FEM were used. The result shows that, the model proposed here has better agreement with experimental data than the classical models.
