Thermal Characterization of the Laser-Assisted Consolidation Process

摘要: The laser-assisted consolidation process is a novel technology to produce thermoplastic composite parts of excellent quality and structural integrity. It combines the advantages traditional thermosetting filament winding with faster processing times composites in using automated tape laying processes based on on-line prepreg substrate maximum sur face temperature time that resin remains above melt are critical factors determining part. A thermal analysis fila ment utilizing CO2 laser beam presented. Comparison experimen tal temperatures, measured very fast response thermocouples, tempera tures computed heat transfer model proposed by Beyeler Guceri, suggests only 20% energy absorbed material con figuration used these experiments. hypothesized t...
