INFLUENCE OF THERMAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS ON CURE PROCESS OF COMPOSITES LAMINATE

Abstract

Abstract: In order to reduce peak temperature of the thermosetting resin matrix composites and optimize the temperature field distribution during the process of curing based on hot bonder, three optimization methods of thermal conditions are proposed, i.e., isothermal boundary conditions, convective heat transfer boundary conditions and a aluminum mould are set respectively on the top surface of laminated plate. The degree of cure and temperature field distribution above three conditions are calculated by the finite element method, and compared with traditional method. The calculation results show that compared with existing methods, the optimization method can reduce the peak of temperature and optimize the temperature field distribution of laminated plates. The peak temperature drops the most on isothermal boundary conditions, while it drops the least on convective heat transfer boundary conditions. The temperature gradient of laminated plates in parallel to the mold surface is relatively uniform with good thermal conductivity of aluminum when aluminum mold are set on the top surface of laminated plate.

Key words: resin matrix composites, curing process, degree of cure, temperature field
