Numerical Simulation on Thermal Curing Behavior and Defect Formation Mechanism Analysis of Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Core Rods for Composite Cross-Arms

The production of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) core rods for composite cross-arms in power transmission lines currently suffers from high defect rates—including internal porosity, surface cracking, under-curing, and thermal yellowing. Although BFRP exhibits superior mec...
