Numerical Investigation of Residual Stresses in Welded Thermoplastic CFRP Structures

Numerical Investigation of Residual Stresses in Welded Thermoplastic CFRP Structures

Using thermoplastics as the matrix in carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) offers the possibility to make use of welded joints, which results in weight savings compared to conventional joining methods using mechanical fasteners. In this paper, the resulting temperature distribution in the materia...
