Abstract
Complex modulus components of carbon-epoxy matrix laminated laminae, are frequency dependent. This effect becomes more pronounced at higher temperatures.
The dynamic elastic moduli and damping coefficients of laminates are measured over a frequency of 0.1 to 10 Hz and a temperature range of 25°C to 200°C by means of a forced non-resonance method. Corrections were introduced in order to eliminate the influence of the stiffness effects of elements of the test column.
A combination of micro- and macro-mechanics methods, suggested by Sims and Halpin, which requires the measurement of only one viscoelastic property, was used.
The predicted results were compared with the experimental results.
