An Improved Analytical Solution for Process-Induced Residual Stresses and Deformations in Flat Composite Laminates Considering Thermo-Viscoelastic Effects

Dimensional control can be a major concern in the processing of composite structures. Compared to numerical models based on finite element methods, the analytical method can provide a faster prediction of process-induced residual stresses and deformations with a certain level of accuracy. It can exp...
