Glass–epoxy composite materials are subjected to various environmental conditions for prolonged periods during their usage in engineering and structural applications. Environmental conditions play a crucial role in their degradation. Glass–epoxy composites were produced by using the hand lay-up method. The specimens were exposed to moisture using a custom-made boiling water degradation setup up to 192 h. To assess the inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS) of the specimens, the quasi-static tests were conducted for 12, 24, 48, 96, and 192 h following the water immersion. This study examines how water absorption affects glass fiber epoxy composites under quasi-static stress scenarios.

摘要

Glass–epoxy composite materials are subjected to various environmental conditions for prolonged periods during their usage in engineering and structural applications. Environmental conditions play a crucial role in their degradation. Glass–epoxy composites were produced by using the hand lay-up method. The specimens were exposed to moisture using a custom-made boiling water degradation setup up to 192 h. To assess the inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS) of the specimens, the quasi-static tests were conducted for 12, 24, 48, 96, and 192 h following the water immersion. This study examines how water absorption affects glass fiber epoxy composites under quasi-static stress scenarios.
