Description

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) specimens were immersed in purified water and kept at a constant temperature of 90°C for 3, 9, 24 and 43 days. The resulting interlaminar strength was investigated through short-beam strength testing. This video clip shows the fracture behaviour for the unaged and aged specimens.
