Predicting thermal deformations during roll forming of thermoplastic matrix composites

Thermal deformations that occur during the manufacturing processes of long fibre reinforced composite have been a continued challenge for manufacturers. These deformations can be difficult to predict due to the complex thermal and mechanical behaviour of composite laminates. This thesis examines the...
