The Effect of Part Curvature on the Formation of Residual Stresses in Carbon Fiber Prepreg Laminates
… of stresses throughout the cure cycle of carbon fiber prepreg in several different lay-ups and across tool plates with varying curvatures to determine what effect the curvature has on the formation of residual stresses. Four different layup configurations are used, with two using …

Process Development for Compression Molding of Hybrid Continuous and Chopped Carbon Fiber Prepreg for Production of Functionally Graded Composite Structures
… for the ME composites lab using unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg composites. A direct comparison was drawn between autoclave and compression molding methods to validate compression molding as an alternative manufacturing method in that lab. A method of manufacturing chopped fiber from …

Detecting Delamination in Carbon Fiber Composites Using Piezoresistive Nanocomposites
<p>Carbon fiber prepreg composites are utilized successfully as structural materials for different lightweight aerospace applications. Delamination is a critical failure mode in these composite materials. As composite plies separate from each other, the composite loses some of its ability for …
