Development of an engineering model for predicting the transverse coefficients of thermal expansion of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites

The coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) of fiber reinforced composites play animportant role in the design and analysis of composite structures. Since the thermalexpansion coefficients of polymer matrix materials are typically much higher than thoseof fibers, and the fiber often exhibits anisot...
