This study presents a statistical two-scale method to predict the viscoelastic properties of composite materials with consistent random distribution of particles. The explicit formulation for predicting the effective viscoelastic relaxation modulus is given. At first, the Laplace transformation is used to the linear viscoelastic problem, the effective generalized relaxation modulus in Laplace domain for composites is derived. Then, the effective relaxation modulus in time domain is obtained by the least-square and inverse Laplace transformation. At the end of this paper, some numerical examples are given to validate that the presented method is feasible and effective.

The viscoelastic properties of composites multi walled carbon nanotube / epoxy at different weight fractions (0.1, 0.5 and 1wt %) were evaluated by performing dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) test. The MWCNT/ epoxy composite were fabricated by sonication and a cast molding process. The results showed that addition of nanotubes to epoxy had a significant effect on the viscoelastic properties. However, the use of 0.5wt% increased the viscoelastic properties more significantly. Concerning viscoelastic modeling, the COLE-COLE diagram has been plotted by the result of DMTA tests. These results show a good agreement between the Perez model and the viscoelastic behavior of the composite.

The thermopiezoelectrical behavior of a functionally graded piezoelectric medium (FGPM) is investigated in the present work. For the special case, the dynamic response of an FGPM rod excited by a moving heat source is studied. The material properties of the FGPM rod are assumed to vary exponentially through the length, except for specific heat and thermal relaxation time which are held constant for simplicity. The governing differential equations in terms of displacement, temperature, and electric potential are obtained in a general form that includes coupled and uncoupled thermoelasticity. The coupled formulation considers classical thermoelasticity as well as generalized thermoelasticity. Employing the Laplace transform and successive decoupling method, unknowns are given in the Laplace domain. Employing a numerical Laplace inversion method, the solutions are gained in the time domain. Numerical examples for the transient response of the FGPM rod are displayed to clarify the differences among the results of the generalized, coupled, and uncoupled theories for various nonhomogeneity indices. The results are verified with those reported in the literature.
