Abstract

This paper deals with the creep effect on dynamic visco-elastic properties of short fibre reinforced polymer SMC composite. The vibration-creep-vibration test procedure was applied to examine the influence of creep on dynamic modulus E and loss tangent tgδ of the material. The results show that creep causes appreciable influence on E and tgδ.
