Title: Quantitative prediction of stresses during thermoset cure

Conference ·
OSTI ID:253366

Two thin-walled Al tubes were filled with epoxy which were cured isothermally; one tube was instrumented with strain gauges, and the other with thermocouples. Finite element codes were used. Predicted and measured centerline hoop strains are shown; predictions and measurements agree. This is being applied to encapsulated components.
