In-Situ Monitoring of the Manufacturing Process and Residual Stress Evolution in Thin-Ply CompositesThin-ply composite laminates are of interest for several applications in aerospace and other high-performance industries due to their ability to delay transverse microcracking and delamination in static, fatigue, and impact loadings. It is essential to understand the evolution of thermal residual stresses during cure to optimize the manufacturing process of thin-ply composites for deep-space applications. In this research, processing induced residual stresses in thin-ply laminates are evaluated by devising a novel in-situ experimental approach. Thin-ply prepreg laminates are cured in a specially designed autoclave with viewports with plies laid upon a flat tool and a curved tool. The curved tool configuration used in this research is designed to simulate cryogenic fuel tank surfaces. The evolution of residual stresses in terms of out-of-plane displacement is characterized using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) during the autoclave cure cycle.

While many online resources teach basic web development, few are designed to help novices learn the CSS concepts and design patterns experts use to implement complex visual fea- tures. Professional webpages embed these design patterns and could serve as rich learning materials, but their stylesheets are complex and difficult for novices to understand. This paper presents Ply, a CSS inspection tool that helps novices use their visual intuition to make sense of professional webpages. We introduce a new visual relevance testing technique to identify properties that have visual effects on the page, which Ply uses to hide visually irrelevant code and surface unintuitive relation- ships between properties. In user studies, Ply helped novice developers replicate complex web features 50% faster than those using Chrome Developer Tools, and allowed novices to recognize and explain unfamiliar concepts. These results show that visual inspection tools can support learning from complex professional webpages, even for novice developers.
