Thermoelastic Response of an Epoxy

Abstract

An investigation has been conducted into the thermoelastic response of an Epoxy subjected to a cyclic compressive loading. A SPATE 8000 detector is used to monitor the response as the mean stress, frequency and cyclic amplitude are varied individually. The response is briefly discussed with respect to the theoretical equation predicting the behaviour of an isotropic Hookean material, and a measure of the Epoxy's mean stress dependence of the thermoelastic parameter is given.
