Estimating the coefficients of thermal expansion of carbon fibre composite materials using infrared thermography

This folder contains the necessary data to carry out the optimisation of some of the samples used in the paper entitled Estimating the coefficients of thermal expansion of carbon fibre composite materials using infrared thermography. The repository includes raw DIC and TSA data acquired using the material and equipment described in the manuscript. It also contains the codes used for the optimisation process and the one-dimensional heat transfer model employed to simulate the thermoelastic behaviour of the material. All the tools provided in this repository offer a potential demonstration of the results presented in the paper.
