Yield behavior and energy-absorbing mechanisms of single and multiphase glassy thermosets subjected to multiaxial stress states

This thesis describes an investigation into the multiaxial yield behavior of single and multi-phase glassy thermosets. Specifically we evaluated the yield behavior of pure, rubber-modified, and voided epoxies, as a function of: molecular architecture, morphology, stress state, strain rate and temper...
