Abstract

The effect of external loading on the rate of water uptake by unidirectional composites is examined as a function of the loading angle (θ) with respect to the fibre direction in glass and graphite-reinforced epoxies. The moisture uptake under the effect of the external load increases with θ, suggesting a dependence on the matrix volume increase, itself a function of the strain and of the Poisson's ratio.
