Investigation of Moisture Diffusion Process in Fibre Reinforced Composites at Elevated Temperatures by Studying The Diffusivity Factors in Accelerated Hot Wet Resin Matrix for Water Body Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study three types of Fibre reinforced composites Glassfibre/epoxy, Glassfibre/vinylester and Glassfibre/polyester resin are fabricated using Hand lay-up process and compacted in a Hotpress. The specimens of these three types of laminates were studied for moisture diffusion at two elevated hotwater temperatures of 90C and 60C to study the kinetics by computing the Diffusion coefficients or Diffusivity factors in Hot wet resin matrix and theoretically evaluated. Keywords— Elevated temperature, Fibre reinforced composites, Hotpress, kinetics, Moisture Diffusion.

Accelerated Heat Aging Study of Phenolic/Basalt Fiber Reinforced Composites
One of the greatest impediments to use polymer-matrix composites is their susceptibility to degradation when exposed to the elevated temperatures and the limited knowledge on the thermal and mechanical properties of these composites at such temperatures. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of accelerated heat aging on the tensile properties of the Woven Basalt/Phenolic (WBP) ...

متن کاملMoisture Diffusion Properties of Fabric Composite (Glass Fiber/Epoxy Resin)
In this study, the effect of hygrothermal conditioning on the moisture diffusion properties of the fabric composite (glass fiber/epoxy resin) was investigated. The water uptake of the specimens conditioned in humid environment at different relative humidities (0, 60 and 96 % r.h) at constant temperature (60°C) was evaluated by weight gain measurements. The moisture diffusion properties of the f...
متن کاملMulti-scale modelling of moisture diffusion coupled with stress distribution in CFRP laminated composites
Laminated composite structures operating in a marine environment are subject to moisture ingress. Due to the slow diffusion process of moisture, the distribution of moisture is not uniform so that the laminates can develop hygrothermal stresses. An accurate prediction of the moisture concentration and the associated hygrothermal stress is vital to the understanding of the effect of marine envir...
متن کاملInvestigation of Mechanical Properties of Lithium-Based Geopolymer Composites Reinforced with Basalt Fibers
Recently, geopolymer binders have been considered because of low cost, simple processes for synthesis and many raw materials in nature. Geopolymer with brittle nature does not have high strength and cannot be used alone for structural materials. Therefore, to use in different structures, the composite which is reinforced with fibers such as carbon, glass, basalt, etchasbeen used. In this resear...
