Effects of Aging Temperature on Moisture Absorption of Perforated GFRP by Shiva Eslami, Fathollah Taheri-Behrooz, Farid Taheri

“…The results indicated that the increase in the aging temperature reduced the diffusion coefficient, thus inducing more moisture absorption by the composite and in turn causing more reduction in composite’s flexural stiffness and bending capacity. Moreover, the ability of Fick’s equation for predicting the moisture absorption rate in such perforated thin-walled composite configuration at various moisture contents and temperatures was also assessed. …”
