Some preliminary tests of the flexural creep and recovery of angle-ply ARP composites (TM-PDU-35)

Flexural creep and recovery tests were carried out on angle-ply Kevlar 49 fibre reinforced Shell Epikote DX210 semi-solid epoxy resin cured with Epikure BF 400. The tests were carried out at 20 (±2)°C and 65 (±2)% relative humidity. Specimens of angle-ply ±0°, ±12° and ±45° were tested at a nominal...
