Abstract

In this study; the effects of thermal aging on
the mechanical properties of composite materials were investigated. In study,
eight layered woven glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite plates were used.
Thermal aging was performed in an electric furnace using time and temperature
change parameters. The time changes were 1, 3 and 5 hours, and 50 ⁰C,
100 ⁰C, and 150 ⁰C were used for temperature changes.
Thermally aged composite plates, at specified time and temperature values;
modulus of elasticity, poisson ratio, tensile strength, compression strength,
shear modulus and shear strength were determined in fiber reinforcement
direction. The results obtained were compared with the results obtained from
the specimens waited at room temperature. At the end of the study, it was
determined that the mechanical properties of the composite plates changed when
the thermal aging temperature and temperature increased.
