A new analytical solution for cure-induced spring-in of L-shaped composite parts

A new analytical solution for the prediction of cure-induced spring-in of L-shaped composite parts has been proposed based on modification of the model presented by authors (2017). In the newly proposed analytical solution, the flange length is incorporated into the formulation to theoretically derive the spring-in of corner of L-shaped composite part using shear-lag theory. Consequently, in addition to the cure process generated non-mechanical...
