Simulation Method for Curing Process of Composite Materials with Thermo-chemical Field Coupling
The curing process of fiber reinforced resin matrix composites is often used in the manufacture of advanced aircraft,automobiles,ships and other key components.The curing process of composite mate-rials is mainly a process in which the resin changes from liquid to solid state and combines with the fiber.There are multi-field coupling effects of thermal and chemical fields in the whole process.Numerical sim-ulation is an efficient and low-cost method to study the curing process.This paper explores the curing process simulation method of composite materials,and realizes the curing process simulation based on AN-SYS FLUENT software.The validity of the simulation method is verified by comparing with the existing data.It is found that the uneven distribution of temperature and curing degree is easy to occur in the cu-ring process of 3D parts,which affects the quality of products.
