This work investigates hygrothermal aging degradation of unidirectional glass/epoxy composite specimens through a combination of experiments and numerical modeling. Aging is performed through immersion in demineralized water. Interlaminar shear testes are performed after multi ...

This paper investigates the viscoelastic/viscoplastic/fracture behavior of an epoxy resin. A state-of-the-art pressure-dependent elastoplastic constitutive model (Melro et al. 2013) is expanded to include viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity and a modified damage formulation with lin ...

A combined experimental and numerical investigation is conducted on the anisotropic water diffusion behaviour of unidirectional glass/epoxy composites. Experimental diffusivity values are obtained by immersing thin material slices for each of its planes of orthotropy extracted ...
