A decoupling scheme for two‐scale finite thermoviscoelasticity with thermal and cure‐induced deformations

This article proposes a decoupling scheme for two‐scale analysis of fiber‐reinforced plastics (FRP) exhibiting finite thermoviscoelasticity in consideration of the dependences of resin's mechanical and nonmechanical deformation characteristics on the degree of cure (DOC) and ambient temperature. To characterize the macroscopic material behavior, numerical material tests are carried out on a unit cell composed of a polymer resin matrix and carbon...
