Service lifetimes of polymers and polymer composites are impacted by environmental
ageing. The validation of new composites and their environmental durability involves costly …

The use of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in load-carrying constructions
has significantly increased over the last few decades. Such GFRP composite structures may …

Abstract Epoxy R-Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite plates were
hydrothermally aged at 60° C for 23, 75, and 133 days. The water content reached 0.97 wt …

Although being a popular approach for the modeling of laminated composites, mesoscale
constitutive models often struggle to represent material response for arbitrary load cases. A …

This work investigates hygrothermal aging degradation of unidirectional glass/epoxy
composite specimens through a combination of experiments and numerical modeling. Aging …

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have rapidly gained acceptance as a permanent repair
material for damaged steel pipelines in oil and gas industry within the last few years, due to …

Abstract 2D fiber reinforced resin matrix composites (2D FRRMC) are widely applied for
aerospace, generator blades, and other high‐end equipment manufacturing fields due to …

Designing durable polymer-based materials and structures requires understanding how the
