Modeling and Predicting the Stress Relaxation of Composites with Short and Randomly Oriented Fibers

The addition of short fibers has been experimentally observed to slow the stress relaxation of viscoelastic polymers, producing a change in the relaxation time constant. Our recent study attributed this effect of fibers on stress relaxation behavior to the interfacial shear stress transfer at the fi...
