Hygrothermal effect on mechanical properties of composite material

Fiber-Reinforced Polymer composite material has been a prevalent choice in the marine application over the years. Fiber-Reinforced Polymer is less susceptible to corrosion and its ability to meet a range of requirements through customization has made it popular. Though Fiber-Reinforced Polymer compo...

Hygrothermal effect on mechanical properties of composite material
description Fiber-Reinforced Polymer composite material has been a prevalent choice in the marine application over the years. Fiber-Reinforced Polymer is less susceptible to corrosion and its ability to meet a range of requirements through customization has made it popular. Though Fiber-Reinforced Polymer composite is able to reduce the lifecycle cost due to its resistance to corrosion, it is restricted by the material database which made it difficult to predict the reliability and durability of the composite. For this project, it investigates the performance of the hydrothermal aging fatigue behavior of the Bismaleimide Resins (BMI) composite material in prolonged exposure to saline environment through experiments.
