Micro Abstract:
Our work presents volumetric effective properties in dependence on the degree of cure. They are obtained by homogenization for a representative unit cell on the heterogeneous microscale. To this end, analytical solutions for (n)- and (n + 1)-layered composite sphere models are derived. In a numerical study it is demonstrated that the effective properties lie within certain bounds. Moreover, application of the effective properties to the curing of fibre reinforced polymers is investigated.
