CREEP IN GLASS FIBER REINFORCED PLASTICS
CREEP PROPERTIES ARE ASSESSED OF GLASS REINFORCED LAMINATES. THE COMPLEX NATURE OF THE PHENOMENON IS SHOWN. THE CREEP MECHANISMS IN THE POLYMERS INVOLVE MANY FACTORS, INCLUDING THE PRESENCE OF GLASS REINFORCEMENT. THE SYSTEM IS SO COMPLEX THAT NO SATISFACTORY THEORY MAY BE DEVELOPED TO PREDICT CREEP IN ALL APPLICATIONS AND CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, IT WAS FOUND THAT SPECIFIC LAMINATES SUBJECT TO SPECIFIED CONDITIONS MAY LEND THEMSELVES TO RELIABLE THEORETICAL TREATMENT. MORE RELIABLE AND PRACTICAL DATA ARE REQUIRED.
