Constitutive modeling for time- and temperature-dependent behavior of composites
08 Jan 2020
Structural integrity, durability, and thermal stability represent critical areas for adequately modeling the behavior of composite materials. Polymeric matrices are prone to have time-dependent behavior very sensitive to changes in temperature that influence the effective properties of the...
