This paper lays out the basic concepts describing physical aging of polymers, namely the effects of aging on effective equilibrium and its relationship to the time-temperature shift factor. The physical aging theory is then extended to develop the long term compliance/modulus of a single lamina with varying fiber orientation. In the investigation of fiber oriented lamina and laminates, it is shown that the long term response can be counter-intuitive, stressing the need for using long term predictions of laminates in structural situations.
