Abstract

In this work a consolidated composite structural analysis theory and a suitable treatment of the experimental data obtained from material characterization standard tests has made it possible to the assess the effects of the operating temperature and absorbed moisture on the elastic and ultimate properties of thick composite elements.

Keywords:
epoxy composites, hygrothermal effects, moisture absorption
