On thermal-expansion properties of more-orthotropic prepreg laminates with and without interleaf layers

More-orthotropic laminates are increasingly used in today’s carbon-fiber-epoxy composite airframe structures. A recent study reported on a considerable discrepancy between measured and calculated coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) for M21E/IMA prepreg laminates, which was found to increase wit...
