Abstract
Relative creep moduli of a series of epoxy laminating resins were found to be the same in uniaxial tension and in torsion when measured under loads of short duration. However, their tensile creep moduli decreased with time and temperature at different rates, changing their relative stiffness. For one typical resin the short-term tensile and shear moduli decreased with cure temperature reaching minima and then increased slightly. Deflection temperature under load determined by standard tests correlated inversely with the short-term tensile modulus for the typical resin considered and failed to provide a basis for determining the relative stiffness of the different resin systems.
