Abstract
Mathematical models are presented to describe moisture transport in epoxy composites using concentration and stress dependent diffusion coefficients. These models take into consideration the stresses induced due to moisture and their influence on the transport mechanism. All governing differential equations are solved with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain concentration and stress profiles. It is concluded that non- Fickian and anomalous transport of moisture in epoxy composites can occur under certain conditions, leading to stress accumulation close to the fibers of the composite.
