Method for residual strain modeling taking into account mold and distribution of heat transfer coefficients for thermoset composite material parts

Abstract The article presents a technique for process-induced residual strain modeling thermoset composite material parts. model takes into account the mechanical and thermal contact between part mold. is implemented in ABAQUS software using user subroutines. Using technique, it possible to clarify distribution of heat transfer coefficient on surface mold CFD method. Distribution coefficients are obtained ANSYS CFX under appropriate process conditions. method verified U-shaped sample. Also, results stringer-stiffened curved panel developed without taking presented.
