Abstract

Hygrothermal effects on neat resin and advanced composites with simple (Carbon, Kevlar) and hybrid (Carbon/Kevlar) fibers were studied before and after exposure to water immersion at 343 K for 800 hours. The degradation in the mechanical properties and the change in failure process were determined. A torsional test rig was used to determine the hygrothermal effects on neat resin. Acoustic emission and SEM techniques were employed to study the failure process. The experimental investigations revealed a significant change in the failure process in the composites in addition to the degradation in the mechanical properties, due to hygrothermal effects.
