29 Ene New paper on tackling undesirable effects in thick composite manufacturing
Researches from AMADE (J Farjas, JA González, D Sánchez-Rodríguez, N Blanco, M Gascons and J Costa) have published a groundbreaking article titled “Analytical criterion to prevent thermal overshoot during dynamic curing of thick composite laminates” in the Journal Advances in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering.
This paper is the result of a successful collaboration between AMADE and the company Compoxi. The paper introduces a novel analytical model designed to predict and prevent thermal overshoot, a common and undesirable effect during the manufacturing of thick laminated composites with thermosets matrices.
The proposed model accounts for different boundary conditions between the mold and laminate, enabling the determination of the critical thickness beyond which thermal runaway occurs under constant heating conditions.
The research opens new avenues for AMADE to further explore the optimization of composite manufacturing techniques, enhancing the sustainability and reliability of industrial processes.
