Abstract
The paper discusses analytical methods for the stimation of mechanical properties and the behavior of composite materials under unilateral environmental exposure. An advanced graphite/epoxy composite plate and a densified wooden strand board of different configurations were examined. It was found that midplane strains, curvatures, and warping at nonsymmetric moisture (or temperature) distribution depended on the moisture content profile, composite type, and configuration as well as stacking sequence of layers. The optimum configuration for hygrothermal response may not coincide with that of mechanical properties.
