Analysis of the tensile behaviour of viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites (2008)
Journal Article
Pang, J. W. C., & Fancey, K. S. (2008). Analysis of the tensile behaviour of viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites. Composites Science and Technology, 68(7-8), 1903-1910. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2007.12.018

A novel composite material is reported, in which tension, applied to polymeric fibres, is released prior to moulding them into a matrix. Following matrix solidification, compressive stresses imparted by the viscoelastically strained fibres impede cra...
