Abstract
The effects of moisture content on the bending strength of T300/914 composite laminates that immersed in water for 7 days and 14 days was discussed in this paper. The three-point bending tests were conducted on the composite laminates. Experimental results reveal that the moisture content in the laminates increased with immersion time and that moisture absorption accelerated damage propagation in the composite laminates. The bending strength of the unaged, aged specimens were characterized and analyzed. Compared to the unaged specimens, the bending strength of the composite laminates immersed for 7 and 14 days decreased by 6.62% and 16.98%, respectively. The results revealed that the bending strength of the aged specimens decreased with the increasing immersion time.
