Polymer fibre composites : investigation into performance enhancement through viscoelastically generated pre-stress

In this research, the performance and further development of viscoelastically pre-stressed polymer matrix composites (VPPMCs) was investigated. Pre-stressed composite samples with continuous unidirectional fibres are produced by applying a tensile load to polymeric fibres to induce tensile creep. Af...
