Abstract

Abstract

Experiments with fiber bragg grating (FBG) sensors and the related theoretical model were used to study the toolpart interaction during the curing of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. The results show that on the condition of using release agent, the sliding friction and sticking force exist simultaneously between the tool and the part. After curing, temperature drop causes different degrees of deformations in the part and in the tool, therefore the sticking force rises and finally reaches a limit value to trigger the debonding process. The debonding area first occurs at the ends of the part, then moves to the part’s center along the tool’s length direction. The thermal expansion coefficient difference between the part and the tool makes the main cause for the interfacial friction and the part’s deformation.
