Abstract: Transient thermal behavior modeling and simulation is a key issue in predicting flight performance of stratospheric lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicles, such as airships or balloons. To reduce computational load of the transient ...

Abstract: In this study, an epoxy resin, YZ-05, designed specifically for carbon fiber reinforced polymer prepregs, was characterized and modeled. A degassing method for the highly viscous YZ-05 was established for specimen preparation. ...
