Effects of Moisture and Temperature on the Elastic Moduli of Composite Materials.

Abstract

The buckling modulus of Thornel 300/Fiberite 1034 graphite epoxy composites was measured at temperatures ranging from 195 K to 422 K and the moisture content from 0% (dry) to 1.5% (fully saturated). The measurements were made using o degree, 90 degree and pi/4 laminates. A survey was also made of the existing data showing the effects of temperature and moisture content on the tensile modulus and the compressive modulus of different composite materials. (Author)
