Residual stresses in thermoplastic composites—A study of the literature—Part II: Experimental techniques

摘要: Abstract This study forms part of a literature survey on residual stresses in continuous fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites. After identification the factors responsible for thermal stress build-up Part I [Parlevliet PP, Bersee HEN, Beukers A. Residual composites – A I: Formation stresses. Composites Appl Sci Manuf, press, doi:10.1016/j.compositesa.2005.12.025 ], experimental techniques to determine magnitude and distribution these various mechanical levels are outlined. The placed following categories: utilising intrinsic composite constituents’ material properties; employing embedded “foreign” sensors; based in-plane out-of-plane deformations, destructive techniques.
