Abstract
The elastic properties of glass/epoxy woven-fabric composites under hy grothermal loading were predicted by using three analytical models ori ginally developed for the prediction of room-temperature elastic prope rties of woven-fabric composites. In this analysis, the dry and wet bu lk resin properties tested at similar temperatures as the composites w ere used to predict the overall elastic properties of glass/epoxy plat es. It is assumed that the fibres are not affected by both temperature and moisture. It was found that the predicted elastic properties of b oth satin-weave and unidirectional fabric composites are in good agree ment with experimental values. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Limited.
