Description
Experimental and theoretical work developed explicit models for predicting effects of Viscoelasticity and time-dependent damage on deformation and damage response of composite coiled tubulars. The experimental work used viscoelastic property tests (creep, recovery and constant rate) on composite tubes and uniaxial specimens cut from tubes.
