Eshelby-Kröner Viscoelastic Self-Consistent Model Multi-Scale Behavior of Polymer Composites under Creep Loading

Abstract:

The mechanical response of the composite structure in T650-35/PMR-15 aged at different temperatures was studied numerically. The time-dependent internal stresses in the composite ply and its constituents were computed during the creep process. In order to predict the effective properties of PMR-15/T650-35 composite ply in the temperature range [250-350°, the time-dependent mechanical properties of PMR-15 matrix determined experimentally [, were considered. The mechanical properties of the fibers do not experience any change due to the aging process in such a temperature range [2, . In order to achieve the computations, the visco-elastic Eshelby Kröner self-consistent model was used.
