Rate dependent non-linear mechanical behaviour of continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites – Experimental characterisation and viscoelastic-plastic damage modelling

The presented work contains both a detailed rate dependent experimental characterisation and the development of a viscoelastic-plastic damage model for the mechanical behaviour of continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites (TPC). A novel experimental procedure, so-called stepwise loading-u...
