Abstract
In this study, thermo-aging effect on the U-notched composite
plates were investigated experimentally. The temperature, time and notch
geometry variations were analyzed. The eight layered woven glass fiber
reinforced epoxy matrix resin composite plates were subjected to different
temperatures and different time intervals. During the thermo-aging process,
the composite plates were subjected to 80, 120 and 160oC temperatures while
time intervals were varied to 2, 4 and 6 hours. Considering the notches
geometry, the variations at the depth of the notch were taken as 0, 5 and 10
mm. The critical buckling load results of thermo-aged composite plates were
compared to the composite plates which were produced at the room
temperature. The results of study showed that the critical buckling loads of
composite plates were decreased 34.61%, 11.8%, 14.63 % with an increase
at the notch depth, temperature and time, respectively.
