...A. Birur; A. Gupta; J. Raghavan Evolution of various damage modes with time, in multidirectional laminates of a polymer composite (Hexcel F263-7/T300) subjected to a constant load, was experimentally studied and correlated to experimental creep rupture results to understand the influence...

... irreversible thermodynamic theory for polymer composites with reaction and microstructural change under combined chemical, thermal, and mechanical loading. Proper microstructural modeling of the PMC is presented to ensure that reaction activities, thermal and mechanical responses of the matrix, fibers...

...Levent Aktas; Youssef K. Hamidi; M. Cengiz Altan The common methods used to determine the diffusion coefficients of polymer composites are based on the solution of Fickian diffusion equation in one-dimensional (1D) rectangular domain. However, these diffusivities usually involve errors primarily...
