“…The effect of the material properties of natural-fiber-reinforced composite considering the influence of moisture absorption and hygrothermal aging can be expressed as [ 26 , 27 ]: where E 1 , E 2 , G 12 , G 13 , G 23 , and ν 12 , ν 21 are the Young’s moduli, shear moduli, and Poisson’s ratio, respectively, c = cos θ , s = sin θ and θ is the layer angle, γ s and γ l are two important coefficients describing the damage evolution induced by moisture absorption and hygrothermal aging and their expressions are and , v f is the fiber content, η is a dimensionless constant which can be determined by fitting the experiential date, D is a material parameter which governing the speed of energy dissipation, G is the initial shear modulus of the composites, t is the aging time (in h for hours), T is a material index which can be determined by fitting the empirical data, and β s , β l , and χ s are three constants that can be obtained by three times multinomial fittings of the experimental results. These parameters are related to the experimental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.).…”
