The stacking sequence was [011/9011].The FBG temperature and strain sensors were embedded in the typical positions of the laminate along 0° and 45° directions, respectively. The composite laminate was molded by hot pressing method, which underwent two continuously cooling stages after molded. The real-time record of the FBG sensors'
central wavelength changes during the curing process shows that the absolute value of the composite material compression strain at the first cooling stage is obviously less than the one at the second cooling stage under the same temperature conditions. The difference indicates that at the first cooling stage the composite laminate is still proceeding the post curing reaction, which can be detected by FBG sensors. Besides, the monitoring data match well with the finite element simulation. Therefore, embedded FBG sensors can be used to monitor the curing process of composite materials, which provide a reliable and effective method for analyzing the curing characteristics of the composite materials.

finite element simulation 碳纤维增强树脂基复合材料具有优异的比强度、比刚度、抗疲劳性能和良好的可设计性[1],在航空航天、汽车、建筑等领域得到广泛应用.然而,在复合材料固化成型过程中,由于材料热胀或者热缩效应、树脂基体的化学收缩效应、复合材料与模具之间的相互作用等因素的协同影响[2],往往在复合材料内部产生复杂的应力,导致脱模后的复合材料发生固化变形现象,严重影响了材料性能.因此,监测复合材料固化特性、分析固化温度和内应力演变过程,具有重要的科学意义和工程应用价值. 光纤Bragg光栅(fiber Bragg grating, FBG)因其体积小、反应灵敏、抗电磁干扰能力强、与纤维复合材料兼容性好等特性而被越来越多地应用于复合材料固化过程的监测.国内外人员研究了利用FBG传感器监测复合材料固化的技术方法.其中,Parlevliet等人[3]用内埋的FBG传感器监测了树脂的固化收缩和后固化对固化残余应力的影响.贾子光等人[4]应用自行封装的FBG传感器监测了碳纤维复合材料固化过程中温度变化和收缩应变.秦伟等人[5]和田恒等人[6]通过内埋的FBG传感器分别实现了RTM成型工艺和热压罐成型工艺中的复合材料固化过程及残余应变的监测.一些学者采用FBG传感器监测不同固化工艺下复合材料残余应力的发展历程,从而提出减小残余应力的有效方法[7-9].李雪芹等人[10]利用FBG传感器在监测树脂固化的基础上测得了固化后树脂在冷却阶段的热膨胀系数.刘刚等人[11]研究了光栅的埋植数量对层压板拉伸和压缩性能的影响.上述研究取得了良好的结果,验证了利用FBG传感器监测复合材料固化过程的可行性.但是大多数的研究工作监测了固化后复合材料内部残余应变的数值,未对复合材料的后固化特性进行深入分析. 本文在复合材料固化变形的有限元模拟基础上,设计FBG传感器的埋入工艺方法,采用热模压方式固化成型复合材料,并对成型后的复合材料进行连续两次降温处理,实时记录FBG传感器中心波长的变化,进而采用比较的方法分析复合材料的后固化特性.
