Summary | After defining different ways to implement accelerated ageing of a reinforced short glass fibre thermoplastic, we try to study the changes of its mechanical behaviour in function of time. A model is then build up with an ageing internal variable taking into account the viscoelasticity and the damage evolution of the material. |
Keywords | ageing, polyethylene, short glass fibre, creep, tension test. |
