A study review of aging polymer composite materials (PCM) under different heat-moisture conditions or water exposure with the sequential or parallel influence of static or cyclic loads in laboratory conditions is presented. The influence of tension and bending loads is compared. Conditions of the different load influence on parameters of carbon-reinforced plastics and glass-reinforced plastics are discussed. Equipment and units for climatic tests of PCM under loading are described. Simulation examples of indices of mechanical properties of PCM under the influence of environment and loads are shown.

Abstract Effects of moderate straining speed on the material and damage characteristics of beam samples of graphite/epoxy and E-glass/epoxy composites were investigated. The basic fiber architecture utilized was unidirectional, axial layup, but data was also obtained for the 45-degree orientation. Ultrasonic and acoustic emission (AE) inspections were utilized. The acoustic emission records show matrix cracking. The ultrasonic images revealed the regions of failure. The results show that in general, strain rate notably affects material and damage properties.
