Bias extension measurements on cross-plied unidirectional thermoset prepreg

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The presented study aims to investigate the deformation mechanism of prepreg stack at elevated temperatures using bias extension method. Investigated parameters include layer -up sequence, test temperature, loading speed, pre-heating time were considered. The results show that an increase of test temperature will result in the reduction of load lever. The load required to deform is influenced by the cross-head speed and pre-heating time. Different stacking sequences result in different deformation modes.
