Abstract: This article concerns the mechanical response of random glass fiber strand swirl-mat/urethane matrix composite under static and cyclic loads as well as under elevated temperatures. The article ...

Abstract: This article concerns the minimization of residual thermal stresses in geometrically constrained adhesive layers and thin polymeric composite lay-ups with emphasis on the role of initial stresses. ...

Abstract: A strain-based thermodynamics framework is proposed for modeling the continuum damage behavior of viscoelastic materials. Damage is represented by an internal state variable in the form of a ...
