Transcript of H 406 6 Hygrothermal
Hygrothermal stresses in laminates
•Changing environment conditions (temperature and moisture) have an important effect on the properties which are matrix dominated.
Ch i t t d i t t t i d lli f th l t i•Change in temperature and moisture content induces swelling of the polymer matrix.
Temperature effect on polymers

Glass transition temperature
The maximum usage temperatureis slightly smaller than Tg

Thermal expansion: Thermal strains for an orthotropic material in (L,T) frame:(no thermal shear in L‐T frame)
Hygroscopic expansion:Changes in moisture concentration are responsible for swelling of the matrix materialMoisture‐induced strains in orthotropic material in (L,T) frame:p ( , )(no moisture‐induced shear in L‐T frame)
Moisture diffusion is governed by the diffusion equation
Fick’s second lawDz = mass diffusivity along zz y g
Very similar to the heat conduction equation:

Thermal strains Hygroscopic strain
•Do not produce a resultant force or moment when the body iscompletely free to expand, bend and twist. •An individual lamina is restrained by the other laminae and is not•An individual lamina is restrained by the other laminae and is not free to expand. This induces thermal stresses.•The thermal stresses are internal stresses: they are self‐equilibrated.

Thermal stresses are unavoidable in the fabrication of composites.The residual stresses due to curing have a significant effect on failureThe residual stresses due to curing have a significant effect on failureand should not be neglected in the design.Non‐symmetric laminates will experience warping during cooling. 9

Logitudinal CTE (micromechanical model)
1. The fibers and the matrix experience the same strain
2. The load is shared between the fibers and the matrix
Transverse CTE (Schapery):

Approximation for Vf>0.25:
Example: Glass‐epoxy system
The CTE in longitudinal directiongis dominated by the fiber.

Transverse coefficient may be computed according to Halpin‐Tsai equation:
kf and k refer to the fibers and thekf and km refer to the fibers and thematrix in the appropriate direction
