Heat transfer analysis of automated fiber placement of thermoplastic composites using a hot gas torch
With more and more use of composites in engineering applications, the need for automated composites manufacturing is evident. The use of automated fiber placement (AFP) machine for the manufacturing of thermoplastic composites is under rapid development. In this technique, a moving heat source (hot...
