Abstract: 
The temperature distribution in the advanced thermoset composite during the laser curing process was predicted with the use of the two-dimensional thermo-chemical model presented in this paper which also gives the governing equations based on the thermal history of the curing process. The finite-difference method was used to get the temperature distribution. This paper also deals with the effect of some factors (such as the winding velocity, the tape thickness and the laser heat source) on the temperature distribution.
