Methods of exploiting natural internal stresses to strengthen composites

  • Published:
Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A method of strengthening nonuniformly reinforced composites is proposed. A rational scheme for coordinating the external stress field, the resistance field, and the internal stress field is examined in relation to the case when the internal stresses are caused by shrinkage of the resin.
