Abstract
The way in which the time of exposure to the atmosphere modifies both the elastic properties and the ultimate strengths of sheet moulding co mpounds has been evaluated. Various plates of this material were expos ed to the elements over a total period of 2 years, periodic tests bein g carried out every 6 months. As well as the static mechanical propert ies, the dynamic flexure properties have also been obtained for differ ent frequencies and over a range of temperatures from 20 to 250-degree s-C.
