Nonlinear Material Model for Quasi-Unidirectional Woven Composite Accounting for Viscoelastic, Viscous Deformation, and Stiffness Reduction

To clarify the individual contribution of viscoelastic and viscous deformation to the global nonlinear response of composites, multilevel cyclic loading-unloading recovery tensile tests were carried out. The experimental results show that there is a linear relationship between the viscous strain and...
