Abstract

A carbon fibre/epoxy composite with thermoplastic interleaves has been developed which exhibits shape memory capabilities upon heating. The shape memory capability was previously modelled using finite elements but the viscoelastic behaviour of the interleaf was not considered. This paper reports on an experimental and modelling investigation into the viscoelastic behaviour of the interleaved composite. This has a significant effect on the re-shaping of this interleaved composite and on the deployment time of structures made of this material.
