Abstract

The capability to predict the residual stresses induced during the manufacturing process in composite components is necessary for the timely fielding of new combat systems. At the U.S. Army Research Laboratory we have developed a computational environment to model the resin flow, heat transfer, curing, and residual stresses in composite components manufactured with the resin transfer molding (RTM) process. This computational environment uses object-oriented programming methods to provide model coupling capabilities and access to high performance computing assets. In this paper we will provide details of the physical models, software, and the validation/verification procedure used to develop this RTM simulation package.
