Sec.4 Materials - laminates – Page 49<br />

3.2.7 For short fibre composites all elastic constants shall be considered to be matrix dominated with respect<br />

to creep. Creep shall be measured for the combination of matrix and fibres.<br />

3.2.8 For matrix dominated elastic constants creep data of the matrix alone shall not be used to estimate creep.<br />

3.2.9 Tensile creep data of matrix dominated properties may be used to estimate creep in compression. Tensile<br />

creep data for fibre dominated properties shall not be used to estimate creep in compression because in<br />

compression viscoelastic effects of the matrix may reduce fibre support and give higher creep than measured<br />

under tension.<br />

3.2.10 Compressive creep data shall not be used to estimate creep in tension.<br />

3.2.11 The change in strain with time can be predicted using the following visco elastic equation (Findley’s<br />

theory). The first part describes the time independent elastic response and the second part describes the time<br />

dependent visco elastic response.<br />

the elastic modulus obtained from the quasi static data, typically for the duration of about 1 minute<br />

the time dependent plastic modulus obtained from creep data.<br />

3.2.12 The time dependent plastic modulus is given by:<br />

where:<br />

t = time after loading<br />

ρ = constant for the visco elastic equation (in MPa)<br />

n = constant for the visco elastic equation (dimensionless)<br />

3.2.13 The equation in [3.2.12] can also be expressed for a time dependent creep modulus E creep with a time<br />

independent and a time dependent part:<br />

3.3.2 The stress rupture curve should be represented as:<br />

log σ = log σ 0stress rupture - β log t<br />

or<br />

σ = σ 0stress rupture - β log t<br />

where t is the time to failure under a permanent stress σ. Other formats of the equation may be used if supported<br />

by experimental evidence.<br />

3.3.3 The material parameters σ 0stress rupture and β shall be determined experimentally or be based on typical<br />

data as described in [8].<br />

3.3.4 Ideally stress rupture shall be measured on the actual laminate for the relevant loading condition and<br />

environment.<br />

3.3.5 For fibre dominated strength values stress rupture data of the same fibre type may be used to estimate<br />

stress rupture.<br />

3.3.6 For short fibre composites stress rupture of the matrix due to shear in the matrix shall be considered in<br />

addition to stress rupture of the fibres.<br />

3.3.7 For matrix dominated strengths, stress rupture data of the matrix alone shall not be used to estimate stress<br />

rupture. Stress rupture shall be measured for the combination of matrix and fibres.<br />
