Creep of reinforced plastics in uniaxial tension along the fibers

Relations are proposed for determining at any moment of time the strains in a reinforced plastic stressed in the resin and the reinforcement by a constant tensile load as a function of the reinforcement ratio and the rheological properties of the reinforcement and resin. The proposed relations agree quite well with the experimental data.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 1, No. 6, pp. 69–77, 1965
