Abstract

The present study is aimed to investigate the effect of damage due to hygrothermal fatigue on the mechanical behaviour of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) laminates as well as on the skin-core interfacial stress field in sandwich structures having CFRP laminates as core material and aluminum as skin. The above behaviour was both experimentally and analytically studied using a model recently developed by the CMG group at University of Patras. Keywords: hygrothermal fatique, polymeric composite laminates, sandwich structures, interfacial phenomena
