Thermal deformation analysis was performed on a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP)
mirror with sandwich structure. To obtain unexpected asymmetry of the surface sheet, we …

Surface quality is a critical issue for thermoplastic composites to be used in a variety of
visible applications. A set of trials has been set up by means of Design of Experiment and …

Optically transparent glass-ribbon composite panels were made by reinforcing a clear epoxy
resin with soda-lime silicate glass ribbons, as opposed to using cylindrical fibers, of …

Schließlich möchte ich mich bei meiner Frau Christina aufs Herzlichste bedanken. Ihre
Geduld und Unterstützung haben mich immer auf Kurs gehalten. Nicht zuletzt möchte ich …

A print-through phenomenon (PTP) often occurs on the surface of the gelcoat layer of fiber-
reinforced plastic (FRP). The fiber prints are visible with the naked eye. According to the …

Carbon fiber-reinforced composite replicated mirrors offer weight savings, higher stiffness,
tailorable CTEs, higher thermal conductivities, and excellent damage tolerant mechanical …

This paper reports a development of space telescope mirror made by light and thermally
stable CFRP. We first compare thermal stabilities of a mirror made by CFRP with a …

Fiber print‐through effect is a limitation to the use of carbon fiber‐reinforced composites in
space applications, namely, mirror telescopes. Replica method is used for the production of …

One prototype carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) panel for 5-m Dome A Terahertz
Explorer antenna is replicated successfully in meeting the surface accuracy requirement of …

This paper deals with the surface development of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic
composites, so called organic sheets, during processing. To investigate the effect of the …
