| 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. |

This project is
completed. |
