Resumen
This work describes an easy to use constitutive model able to predict the mechanical behavior of polymer matrix particulate composites at temperatures above the glass transition temperature Tg. This model was basedon both phenomenological and micromechanical theories. With the model proposed it is possible to obtain the properties of the material (macro) using the characteristics of its components (micro). This model exhibits a reasonable agreement with experiments under various volume fractions of particles.
