In the present paper, curing temperature of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates was estimated from room-temperature shapes which ware calculated theoretically and compared with experimental results. The analyzed model was CFRP laminate plate having a stacking sequence [0°/90°], and the specimens were made of unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy prepreg. And room-temperature shapes of CFRP laminates are analyzed theoretically by means of classical lamination theory, correspondence principle and anisotropic thermoviscoelastic constitutive equations. Deflections were compared with experimental results under various conditions.
