Abstract
In this study, when strand specimens were manufactured using an automatic winding device to obtain uniform strand specimens, analysis and test were conducted to investigate the effect of thermal expansion of the mandrel on strand specimens. Also, necessity of changing materials and mandrel configuration was checked. According to the results, strand specimen received unintended tension that was created by thermal expansion of the mandrel and this unintended tension depended on the curing temperature and position of specimens. Tensile test was conducted to check that initial tension affected on the performance of carbon fiber tow prepreg. All other conditions were fixed and only the initial tension was controlled at 40 N, 60 N, and 80 N. From the results of analysis and test, neither additional tension and tension deviation due to the thermal expansion of the mandrel and the initial tension difference had a significant effect on tensile test results, because carbon fiber had sufficiently high strength compared with tension. Therefore, it was confirmed that the change of the mandrel material and configuration of the automatic winding device was unnecessary.
