Experimental method for evaluation of residual stress distribution in carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite jointed to
copper is presented. Pulse electric current passed through composite-to-copper joint essentially reduces the level of residual
stresses.
Keywords composite-to-copper joint - residual stresses - pulse electric current
