Notes:
Fiber reinforced plastics offer many structural advantages for a variety of designs. Before these material systems can achieve more widespread usage, however, some of the unanswered questions regarding the long-term behavior and durability of these materials must be answered. Nonlinear compliance data is presented for T300/934 and T300/5208 graphite/epoxy composites. Several nonlinear viscoelastic techniques are compared for modeling the response. Comments for applying nonlinear models to orthotropic materials are given. A procedure for predicting long term laminate response from short term unidirectional data is reviewed.
