Simulation of the curing process of glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites

In this article, the kinetic parameters of the used epoxy resins are determined. Simulation of the curing process of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) taking into account the exothermic effects of epoxy binders was carried out. The obtained kinetic parameters were used as initial data for the study of exothermic effects of epoxy resins. The temperature condition and the degree of curing of GFRP based on epoxy binders at different heating rates during the curing progress were obtained. The influence of the exothermic effect of resins on the temperature state of GFPR in the curing process is investigated.
