description Automatic fiber placement (AFP) is a type of labor-saving automatic technology for forming composite materials that are widely used in aviation and other fields. In this process, concave surface delamination is a common defect, as existing research on the conditions for this defect to occur is insufficient. To predict the occurrence of this defect, the concept of allowable interlaminar normal stress is proposed to define its occurrence conditions, and based on this concept, probe tests are carried out using the principle of time–temperature equivalence. Through the laying speed/allowable normal stress curve measured in the probe experiment, the physical meaning of allowable normal stress is discussed. At the same time, the measured curve is quantitatively analyzed, combined with viscoelastic theory and the molecular diffusion reptation model, and the dominating effect in the formation of a metal/prepreg layer and prepreg/prepreg layer is determined. Finally, the experimental data are used to guide the parameter selection in an automatic placement engineering case and prove its correctness.
