Rapid Lifetime Evaluation of Hybrid Composite Rods by Creep Behavior

Abstract:

Hybrid composite rods, comprised of unidirectional reinforcing carbon/glass-fiber and adhesive epoxy matrix, are viewed as promising candidates to be used in high-voltage overhead conductors. However, before widespread application, their long-term durability needs to be clarified. In this study, accelerated creep testing for hybrid composite rods, is presented by taking dynamic mechanical analysis tests at different temperatures. Using the time-temperature superposition principle and thermal activation energy theory, the short-term creep data are combined to generate creep long-term compliance master curves. Through the master curve, predictions can be made concerning the creep levels that will occur during the design lifetime of hybrid composite rods (i.e., 30 years). It is found that after 30-year service at 120 °C, fully-cured hybrid composite rods only exhibit a slight increase in compliance (about 5%), indicating a satisfactory creep resistance at this temperature.
