Abstract
A set of mathematical models of a thermoplastic pultrusion process is evaluated. The predictions of the models are compared to experimentall y obtained data in terms of composite temperature and pressure and pro cess pulling force. The comparisons between predictions and experiment s are made for two different material systems, two different die confi gurations, and a range of processing temperatures and speeds. The corr elations between predictions and data are found to be favorable, indic ating the soundness of the models.
