- Abstract
- In order to optimize the design of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite (Ilizarov) C-rings, the viscoelastic load relaxation behavior was analyzed under a point load. Initially, the deflection and bending stiffness were calculated from the Castigliano theorem and the Euler-Bernoulli bending theory for the elastic solution. The viscoelastic relaxation and creep behavior were then derived from the elastic solution by using the correspondence theorem. Besides the orthotropic mechanical properties of the composite, the asymmetric mechanical properties due to different tensile and compressive properties were also considered. With the exception of the deviation, which was affected by a relatively large thickness ratio to the radius of the C-ring, the calculated relaxation showed good agreement with the experimental result.
