The influence of time-dependent material behavior on the response of sandwich beams

To study the influence of the time-dependent behavior of various materials being considered for use in orbiting precision segmented reflectors, simple sandwich beam models are developed. The beam models included layers representing face sheets, core and adhesive. The issue of time-dependency is esse...
