  • Patent number: 12361184
    Abstract: A thermal compensation design and implementation method for near-net-shape molding of a thermoset composite part based on temperature and curing degree fields is provided. A minimum symmetric unit model is established based on sizes of the part and a mold and ambient temperature. A curing kinetic model and a heat transfer model are established. A molding temperature curve is written into a subprogram. A simulated thermal compensation is performed on a region whose temperature is lower than a molding temperature with a difference of greater than or equal to 5% of the molding temperature until the temperature difference of individual regions is less than 5% of the molding temperature. The simulated thermal compensation is then performed on those regions with a curing degree less than or equal to 0.9. A thermal compensation device is assembled according to the thermal compensation scheme for experimental verification.
