Erratum: Corrigendum to “High-fidelity micro-scale modeling of the thermo-visco-plastic behavior of carbon fiber polymer matrix composites” (Composite Structures (2015) 134 (132–141))

The authors regret to inform that one of the modifications proposed in the article “High-fidelity micro-scale modeling of the thermo-visco-plastic behavior of carbon fiber polymer matrix composites” [1] was found to be unnecessary: the paraboloid yield criterion is sufficient to describe the shear behavior of the epoxy matrix considered (Epoxy 3501-6). The authors recently noted that the experimental work [2] used to validate the pure matrix response considered engineering shear strain instead of its tensorial counter-part, which caused the apparent inconsistency with the paraboloid yield criterion. A recently proposed temperature dependency law for glassy polymers is evaluated herein and better agreement with the experimental results for this epoxy is observed. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
