AIMS 1 SIMULATION . Perform a thermo-chemical simulation in a simplified CAD geometry and obtain the nodal temperatures. Simulate the degree of cure of composite. 2 VALIDATION OF THE SIMULATION Compare the simulated values with the measured ones in order to validate the model.
SIMULATION SOFTWARE SAMCEF Mecano • Finiteelementmodellingpackage • Domain: Thermal-Analysis • Nodal temperature • Degre of cure of composite • Thermo-chemicalpropertiesof composite • Tg
INPUT DATA • Initial temperature 23ºC • Surface flux convective flux 14 W/m2k • Curing cycle temperature profile • Thermophysical properties
REAL CYCLE TEMPERATURE Real profile of temperaturewasmeasuredwiththermocouples placed in different positions of theblade.
VALIDATION OF THE SIMULATIONS • Electrical resistance-based measurements and RTD temperature sensing • Extract real-time information of resin’s state: viscosity, Tg, degree of cure • The viscosity is directly related to electrical resistance OPTIMOLD
CONCLUSIONS • Final statement: • “Simulation is a useful tool in the composite manufacturing to design intellingent strategies of manufacturing”
