N2 - In this study, the electrical conductivity of PolyEtherKetoneKetone reinforced with five harness satin weave carbon fabric was measured. Induction heating experiments using a hairpin shaped coil were conducted on the same material. The study points out that the thermal response depends on the direction in which the eddy currents are generated in the laminate. The thermal response showed a linear relation with the measured in-plane anisotropic electrical conductivity, pointing towards Ohmic heating mechanisms being dominant during induction heating of the used material. This relation enables the accurate and efficient simulation of the induction heating of woven fabric reinforced composites, using only the electrical conductivity measured in one of the fabric’s weave directions and in the fabric’s 45° off-axis direction.
