An energy criterion to predict delayed failure of multi-directional polymer matrix composites based on a non-linear viscoelastic model

The life-time prediction of multi-directional polymer composite under creep loading is proposed and assessed. Energy failure criterion, based on the theoretical developments of Reiner and Weissenberg, is modified and incorporated into a computer program called LAMFLU. This algorithm was developed to...
