Analysis on thermal effect on a thick or thin laminate a. Determine the curvatures of a two-layer
Question:
Analysis on thermal effect on a thick or thin laminate a. Determine the curvatures of a two-layer unsymmetric [0/90] laminate after it is cooled from the curing temperature to the room temperature. The material is T-300 carbon fiber in an epoxy matrix for which ! = -0.5 x 10-6 m/m per C and " =12 x 10-6 m/m per C. For the fiber, Ef =220 GPa and nf =0.2. For the matrix, Em =3.6 GPa and n m =0.35. The fiber volume fraction is 60%. The thickness of each layer is t, and the temperature drop is DT. b. For a thick laminate, what is the shape of the laminate at room temperature? Please drawn the shape using a software. c. For a thin laminate with high thickness-length ratio than thickness-width ration, what is the shape of the laminate at the room temperature? Please draw the shape using a software.
