Abstract
The deformation behavior of APC-2 PEEK matrix thermoplastic composite at elevated temperatures was characterized in order to increase the un derstanding of the mechanics in solid-phase forming of advanced thermo plastic composite structures, Off-axis tension tests were performed to determine the inelastic and rate-dependent material properties. An an isotropic elastic/viscoplastic constitutive model was proposed to desc ribe the inelastic and rats-dependent material responses. The constitu tive model was evaluated using off-axis and laminate specimens subject ed to uniaxial tension.
