Determination of macroscopic viscoelastic properties as well as macroscopic thermal deformation and cure-shrinkage properties of fiber reinforced plastics in consideration of cure process
Abstract:This study presents a method of determining the macroscopic viscoelastic properties as well as the macroscopic coefficients of thermal expansion and cure-shrinkage of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) in consideration of the dependence of the viscoelastic properties of the resin used in the matrix phase on the degree of cure (DOC). The DOC-dependent viscoelastic material behavior of the resin is represented by the generalized Maxwell model and is accompanied with nonmechanical strains such as thermal strain and … Show more
