Underhill, DRDC – Atlantic Research Centre.[Ottawa] : Defence Research and Development Canada, c2016. vi, 19, [4] p. : ill.Scientific report ; 2016-R195"November 2016."Includes bibliographical references."Fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites are used because they are lightweight, durable, corrosion-free materials. Before they can be chosen for an application, an understanding is needed of their long-term durability. This report discusses potential degradation mechanisms, how to simulate them in an accelerated timeframe and how to measure the resulting change in material properties in a laboratory setting. The goal of thes overview is to educate the reader on how to evaluate, and possibly predict, the degradation of composite materials in a marine environment."--Abstract, p. i.Includes abstract in French.gccstMaterials technologyCanada.
