Analytical and Experimental Analysis of the Shape Recovery Behavior of Continuous Fiber Reinforced Shape Memory Polymer
Wessam Saadoun Al Azzawi
Abstract:Shape memory polymer (SMP) signify a new category of responsive polymers characterized by their capability to undergo significant shape changes and then revert to their initial shape when exposed to specific stimuli. They are known by their low mechanical properties; however, when integrated into fiber-reinforced composites a considerable characteristics enhancement is achieved. Modeling the thermomechanical behaviour of these materials is crucial task to understand their shape fixity and recovery. However, th… Show more
