Accelerated methods for measuring long-term viscoelastic properties of fiber reinforced
polymer (FRP) composites are important for reducing the time needed to characterize …

Rheological behaviors of polymeric materials have been observed to be temperature-
dependent, which demands considering temperature effects in constitutive models. In this …

Rheological behaviors are widely recognized to be induced by the existence of pre-loading
conditions, which should be considered in the constitutive models. In this paper, a fractional …
