title = "Analytical and finite element solutions for spring-in of curved composites",
abstract = "An analytical approach and a finite element approach for modelling spring-in are presented. The analytical approach takes into account the low shear stiffness of the material in the rubbery state before it is fully cured. The finite element modelling is based on a two-step analysis considering the material as passing through distinct rubbery and glassy states. It is shown that shear-lag through the thickness can lead to a significant effect of thickness on spring-in angle, as has also been observed experimentally.",
