A coupled solution method for predicting the thermostructural response of decomposing, expanding polymeric compositesA new solution method has recently been developed to analyze the thermal and structural response of polymeric composites during chemical decomposition (Sullivan and Salamon, 1992a). This method couples the equations of energy, mass transport and momentum and solves these equations simultaneously at each time step. In this paper, the couples solution method is applied to analyze the response of a glass phenolic composite during its chemical decomposition. The numerical solution to this particular problem was originally performed by Henderson, et al. (1985) and the actual response was measured by Henderson and Hagen (1985) and Ramamurthy (1988). In addition to further verification of the coupled solution method, the present solution offers additional insight into certain physical events which occur during chemical decomposition.
