Abstract
A modelling and simulation approach for plastic deformation effects in curing resins is presented. For this purpose known rheological models of viscoelasticity and viscoplasticity are combined and a thermochemical element is added to account for chemical shrinkage and thermal expansion. The degree of cure of the resin has a major influence on the behaviour of the curing material, and therefore, the material model is formulated depending on the degree of cure. It affects the viscoelastic behaviour as well as the chemical shrinkage and the yield function of the viscoplastic part of the model. For the yield function a von Mises approach with isotropic hardening is chosen, where the initial yield stress as well as the yield surface depends on the degree of cure and the temperature.
