Hygrothermal Effects in Continuous Fibre Reinforced Composites. Part I. Thermal and Moisture Diffusion in Composite Materials (Effets Hygrothermiques dans les Composites a Renfort de Fibre Continu. Partie I. Diffusion de L'Humidite et de la Chaleur dans les Materiaux Composites)
Abstract
This report is the first in a series of literature reviews in which hygrothermal effects on aerospace composite materials (CM) are examined. This first report (Part I) deals primarily with fundamental aspects of the diffusion of moisture into, and from, composite materials. The effects of temperature under both steady state and transient conditions are also examined. Subsequent reports in this series will deal with the following topics: Physical Properties; Mechanical Properties; Composite Structures and Joints, and Numerical and Analytical Solutions. A bibliography has also been prepared to serve as a source of further information. It will also serve as a reference list for the various reports in this series, and therefore it is included as an appendix.
