CFRP composite material, which is reinforced with carbon fiber, features superior heat and corrosion resistance, and these benefits enables the gradual applications on aerospace industries and sports-entertainment business. However, guarantee on superior strength and rigidity on harsh condition, such as hot moisture environment and collision load is extremely difficult. Therefore, in study moisture absorption test was conducted until complete moisture absorption in test specimen using hygrothermal heat chamber to evaluate strength degradation in CFRP composite under hygrothermal environment. As a result, the effect of moisture absorption and impact loads of approximately 50% reduction in strength are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
