Research Project
• Numerically model the hot-pressing manufacturing process through the FEA technique to produce a composite material made of Glass Fiber Prepregs with Ni-Ti wires as a functional material.• Identify the influence on the residual stress and strain within the hybrid compound of factors such as Pressure, temperature, and tensile force on Ni-Ti wires.• Establish the source of error in the hot-pressing process that produces deflections in the wire NiTi and propose solutions to improve the manufacturing process.
