Abstract

The thermal and mechanical properties of carbon, glass and Kevlar fibre reinforced epoxy composites are discussed, with particular reference to the behaviour of these materials at cryogenic temperatures. The effects of production techniques and various fibre arrangements are determined.

    Static finite element simulations (Abaqus 6.14 Standard) modeled stresses in the composites due to thermal effects, with a stress-free state at the cure temperature. The carbon fiber coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and modulus and the phosphor bronze modulus were assumed to be independent of temperature [10–12]. The temperature dependence of the bronze CTE, epoxy CTE, and epoxy modulus were taken from measurements in [10–12].
