Modeling the effects of elastic modulus and thermal expansion coefficient on the shrinkage of glass fiber reinforced composites

In a micromechanics modeling of fiber reinforced composites, the thermal expansion coefficients and the elastic moduli of the composites are important physical parameters to predict the shrinkage and structure of the composites. We suggest a shrinkage inhibition concept for the composites before and after an annealing process and model the effects of the thermal expansion coefficient and the elastic modulus on the shrinkage of the composites by...
