| Abstract: | The effect of absorbed moisture on the mechanical properties of E-Glass/Epoxy composite
was investigated. It is now well known that the exposure of polymeric composites in moist
environments, under both normal and sub-zero conditions, leads to certain degradation of its
mechanical properties which necessitates proper understanding of the correlation between the moist
environment and the structural integrity. Environments similar to several that in real life, like marine
environments, the high temperature excursions (thermal spikes) experienced by the undercarriage of
VTOL aircraft, or even natural weathering conditions were tried to be regenerated and an attempt was
made to understand their impact on the fiber-matrix adhesion property. The tensile and bending
properties were determined under hydrothermal conditions and the effect of thermal spike on the interlaminar
shear strength (ILSS) values of the composite under different conditions were also discussed.
The changes in gl... |
