An experimental research into the creep behavior of glass fiber reinforced polyester: Research towards the long-term viscoelastic behavior of GFRP

This study presents the characterization of the creep response of unidirectional (UD) glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) composite laminates. Tensile creep tests are performed using a custom test apparatus which includes the use of a climate chamber. Tests are performed on coupon sized specimens loaded in the fiber direction and...
