Tensile creep of a long‐fibre glass mat thermoplastic (GMT) composite. II. Viscoelastic‐viscoplastic constitutive modeling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In Part I of this article, the short‐term tensile creep of a 3‐mm‐thick continuous long‐fibre glass mat thermoplastic composite was characterized and found to be linear viscoelastic up to 20 MPa. Subsequently, a nonlinear viscoelastic model has been developed for stresses up to 60 MPa for relatively short creep durations. The creep response was also compared with the same composite material having twice the thickness for a lower stress range. Here in Part II, the work has been extended to characterize and model longer term creep and recovery in the 3‐mm composite for stresses up to near failure. Long‐term creep tests consisting of 1‐day loading followed by recovery were carried out in the nonlinear viscoelastic stress range of the material, i.e., 20–80 MPa in increments of 10 MPa. The material exhibited tertiary creep at 80 MPa and hence data up‐to 70 MPa has been used for model development. It was found that viscoplastic strains of about 10% of the instantaneous strains were developed under load. Hence, a non‐linear viscoelastic–viscoplastic constitutive model has been developed to represent the considerable plastic strains for the long‐term tests. Findley's model which is the reduced form of the Schapery non‐linear viscoelastic model was found to be sufficient to model the viscoelastic behavior. The viscoplastic strains were modeled using the Zapas and Crissman viscoplastic model. A parameter estimation method which isolates the viscoelastic component from the viscoplastic part of the nonlinear model has been developed. The model predictions were found to be in good agreement with the average experimental curves. POLYM. COMPOS., 2009. © 2008 Society of Plastics Engineers

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
