Hybrid composites: Models and tests for environmental aging Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A comprehensive analytical approach to evaluate the mechanical response of seawater aged hybrid composites is presented. The methodology accounts for the effects of multiple fiber reinforcement, matrix non-linearity and progressive damage to assess the stressstrain response and ultimate failure loads. The computational results compare well to data from tensile and bending tests of flat coupons and burst pressure tests of filament wound tubes.
