The study is related to quality of cure and residual stress state topics, especially for thick matrix. A formulation as simple as possible of some important basic couplings that occur during the cure of a class of structural thermosetting matrix is proposed. A methodology of linking thermal, diffusion and mechanical phenomena together is presented. First FEM results of cure simulation are presented and compared with experimental data of the cure. %G English %L hal-00497853 %U https://hal.science/hal-00497853 %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-POITIERS %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE-LBMS
