Abstract
The durability of unidirectional carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy resin composite laminate panels under UV, hygrothermal exposure, and applied tensile stress was investigated experimentally by accelerated ageing tests with determination of interlaminar shear strength via short beam shear testing of conditioned specimens. The data are discussed in comparison with the results of simulations based on a phenomenological predictive model derived using finite element analysis, and in terms of applications in emerging facilities and infrastructure such as bridges and buildings in different climatic zones. 27 refs.
