Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the interlaminar shear behavior of CFRP in critical service conditions. The specimens were immersed in the prepared artificial seawater for 7 months to investigate the ageing time, ambient temperature and salt concentration effects. Analytical balance was used to weight the samples for analyzing the dynamic moisture absorption behavior. Short beam shear tests were carried out to evaluate the interlaminar shear properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the ageing damage and failure morphology. The results show that moisture absorption behavior of composites follows Fickian diffusion law. Moisture absorption rate and the maximum absorption content are mainly affected by ambient temperature but not by NaCl concentration. Compared with ageing time and NaCl concentration, the shear stiffness and shear strength are more sensitive to aging environmental temperature. After exposed in 3.5%–70 °C seawater environment for 7 months, the retention rate of shear strength is only 68.8% and the failure displacement decreases by 20.5%. The shear strength increases first and then decreases with the increase of the maximum moisture absorption, which is mainly related to the release of curing shrinking stress and the damage of interface properties. The shear properties degradation after aging is mainly related to the damage of materials induced by environment (delamination, fiber/matrix interface debonding and matrix cracking).
