Incremental Numerical Approach for Modeling the Macroscopic Viscoelastic Behavior of Fiber-Reinforced Composites Using a Representative Volume Element

The objective of this study is to describe the stress relaxation behavior of an epoxy-based fiber-reinforced material. An existing incremental formulation of an orthotropic linear viscoelastic material behavior was adapted to Voigt notation and to the special case of an isotropic material. Virtual r...
