This work investigates process-induced residual deformations in spars, examining factors such as spring-in angles, deformations, and the distribution of 3D stresses throughout the thickness of these components. The research utilizes one-dimensional, higher-order, layer-wise theories derived from the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) to overcome time-consuming simulations for such structures.
