Abstract
Laser assisted automated tape or fiber placement (LATP/LAFP) with in-situ consolidation is a promising technique for manufacturing large structures, eliminating the limitations of autoclave curing. Currently, 2-D models are mostly preferred for the thermal analysis of the process. A 3-D, transient thermal finite element model is developed to analyze the effect of the alignment of the heat source with the tape laying direction and is compared with a model imitating a 2-D analysis space. This aspect of the process has not been considered in the literature so far. Effects of this aspect on temperature history and intimate contact evolution are presented.
