Abstract
Creep in the nonlinear zone of wood plastic composite can be described by a few material constants. The purpose of this study was to determine these creep related material constants for 60% wood flour reinforced extruded HDPE samples. Creep and recovery data in flexural bending mode were analyzed. Schapery's theory was used to simulate creep data. The creep related material constants varied according to the stress level. The experiment was short term and the values of these constants will be used to characterize, simulate, and model long-term creep under varying temperature and moisture in our ongoing project.
