Longitudinal Compressive Property of Three-Dimensional Four-Step Braided Composites after Cyclic Hygrothermal Aging under High Strain Rates [PDF]
The longitudinal compressive behavior of the three-dimensional four-step braided composites after cyclic hygrothermal aging was investigated using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus under high strain rates (1100~1250 s−1, 1400~1600 s ...

Effects of Hygrothermal Aging and Cyclic Compressive Loading on the Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Conductive Composites. [PDF]
Conductive polymers and their composites have been widely applied in different applications, including sensing applications. Herein, we constructed a conductive composite of polypropylene, carbon black, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PP/CB/MWCNTs) to experimentally study its sensing behaviors in a humid thermal environment. The as-synthesized PP/CB/

Why cyclic hygrothermal ageing modifies the transverse mechanical properties of a unidirectional epoxy-flax fibres composite? [PDF]
Abstract The development of composites based on plant fibres has considerably grown in last decades; however, their high sensitivity to moisture limits their use in structural applications. The objective of this study is to determine and understand the impact of moisture variations during one-year cyclic hygrothermal ageing i.e.

Response of hygrothermally aged GLARE 4A laminates under static and cyclic loadings
Abstract An experimental investigation focusing on the hygrothermal aging-structural degradation–mechanical property relationship of GLARE 4A laminates was conducted. Water immersion conditioning at 80 °C for up to 4 months was carried out on GLARE 4A laminates.
