Matrix material

Clicking on the "Matrix material" tab on the top of the program window brings you to the window where you can set the rheological properties of the matrix material.



The matrix material tab



1. Select rheological model

Two rheological models are available: the Cross-WLF model and a constant viscosity model. The rheological models return an apparent viscosity as a function of temperature and shear rate.


2. Read from database

Frequently used matrix materials can be read from the database.


3. Adjust the values

Click this button to alter the model parameters


4. Make a viscosity vs. shear rate plot

Plots the apparent viscosity vs. the shear rate for the selected model. Set the temperature by altering the value T and set the boundaries of the plot with the g_min and g_max values. The plot will range from 10g_min to 10g_max.


5. delete graphs

Delete the graphs or the last one.
