A micromechanical study of residual stress and its effect on transverse failure in polymer–matrix composites (2006, background): “For the epoxy resin considered here, the shrinkage strain was chosen to be between 0.5% and 2%, which corresponds to the volume change between 1.5% and 6% and falls within experimental measurements (Russell, 1993; Oota and Saka, 2001; Li et al., 2004; Sakaguchi et al., 2004).”
Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors toward Structural Health Monitoring in Composite Materials: Challenges and Solutions (2014, background): “In 2006, Wisnom et al. have identified three main causes for the appearance of residual strain [66]: thermal expansion of the resin [67], volume shrinkage of the resin [63,68] and differential thermal expansions between the mold and the sample [69].”
Mechanisms generating residual stresses and distortion during manufacture of polymer-matrix composite structures (2006, background): “This can be a very substantial effect, with a volume change of 7% being typical for an epoxy resin [6].”
