Abstract
A physics-based multi-scale model that couples viscoelasticity and time-dependent damage evolution for general multidirectional laminates subjected to long-term creep loading is developed. The viscoelastic ply behavior is evaluated using a nonlinear Schapery-type viscoelastic model, while a methodology employed within the framework of classical laminate theory is used to predict the corresponding laminate time-dependent response. The evolution...
