Experimental study on how free-edge effects impede CTE measurements
The present paper is focussed on the experimental quantification of free-edge effects and their relevance when laminates’ coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) are determined by means of thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA). TMA tests have been performed for specimens with in-plane dimensions of abou...
